Yep... have a look at the servlet 2.2 spec - coming from an asp world I'm
guessing you're not familiar with the way java works - but basically almost
everything you deal with in java will conform to some spec. The spec holds
the rulebook - that way you can stop using one vendor's product and start
using anothers'. (notice M$ doesn't do this (o: ... sorry - couldn't
resist)...
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet <- the spec is in there somewhere,
tomcat 3.x support version 2.2 and 4.0 is aiming at 2.3. I'd start with 2.2
if I were you.

yep - absolutely. but if you're wanting to integrate with IIS (I'm assuming
thats faster than tomcat with static pages) then read the IIS howto. I'm a
linux user so have no idea about the IIS stuff sorry. but if on the other
hand all you want to do is use a familiar environment, then yeah, you can
have the context docBase as an absolute path... eg C:/wwwroot/phil.
one last thing from me... when replying - keep it on the list, that way
someone else having the same questions can search the archives first (o:
