I also have a technical background, but not as big as yours. I have been programming in java por 3 months now. Even before I started programming I gave tomcat a try to see my options. I have to tell you that getting tomcat to run and work fine is trivial. That setting up connection pooling is just a matter of following the instructions in jakarta's site, and that setting mod_jk to work, just following the example, took like 30 minutes... Now, i'm a linux user, i don't know if it's as easy or not in windows, but if you can't get tomcat running with minimal effort, then there has to be a problem in your setop that is beyont tomcat.
