I presume your employer has made similar searches of the Microsoft, Sun etc. sites, and has obtained documentary proof that Windows, Java, Microsoft Office etc. will be ICD-10 compliant by 2013? As an unofficial comment (I'm not an ASF committer, merely someone who's used Tomcat and has dealt with a number of medical applications), I'm not aware of anything in any version of Apache Tomcat or its connectors that is specific to any clinical coding system, and therefore I would not expect any Tomcat-related issues running a web application in Tomcat that used ICD-9, ICD-10, ICD-O, SNOMED-CT, SNOMED-RT, Read4, Read5, scans of handwritten documents or any other way of encoding clinical information. As Mark says, the issues will be in the applications, not in the containers that run them. - Peter -- Peter Crowther, Director, Melandra Limited
