Just FYI, I'm not ignoring this...  I can verify that at least one part of 
Atrium Core - the Atrium Registry - will not support Tomcat 5.5.  

There's a reference to this in the Install Guide, page 46:

"Table 3-6: Worksheet for BMC Atrium Web Services Registry (2 of 3)
[...]

Note: Because Tomcat 5.5, which comes with AR System, is not supported, do not 
point to that version of Tomcat. BMC Atrium Web Services Registry requires 
Tomcat version 6."

I'm just checking to see if any other areas have that limitation as well.

David,

the BMC Atrium Core 7.5.00 Compatibility Matrix states that the minimum version 
of Tomcat is 5.5.25, but you stated that you need Tomcat 6. Is the Atrium 
compatibility matrix incorrect then?

here is the link to the document I am viewing:

Thanks Guillaume

Subject: Re: ARS 7.5 Install Question
 
If you install Tomcat 6 before installing AR System, then you can choose not to 
install anything as part of the AR System installation.  That way, you'll only 
have Tomcat 6 on the system from the beginning.  Both Atrium Core (CMDB) and AR 
System 7.5.00 support Tomcat 6.

It was done this way because AR System 7.5.00 still supports Tomcat 5.5 - so 
the earliest supported version of Tomcat was included as the JSP engine for IIS 
users.  Atrium Core 7.5.00 has a minimum version of Tomcat 6 and does not 
support Tomcat 5.5.

Note that AR System does not require Tomcat specifically as a JSP engine.  You 
may choose to use another supported JSP engine (e.g. ServletExec) if you wish.  
Or, if using a web or application server other than IIS, you may use the JSP 
engine that comes with the web/app server (e.g. JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, 
etc.) as long as they're listed in the Compatibility Matrix.  Tomcat was 
included purely as a convenience to IIS users - who otherwise would have to go 
find a JSP engine - and is not intended to convey a preference or requirement 
for AR System.
