Tomcat doesn't do what weblogic does. Weblogic is a J2EE container; Tomcat is a servlet container. J2EE is more than servlets.
You might also consider Orion (www.orionserver.com) - it's also a J2EE container, runs much faster than WebLogic (although BEA won't allow anyone to publish benchmarks - I wonder why?) and has a price tag of $1500, compared to BEA's open pricing. --------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
