You're welcome. Could you please post to the list if there were
differencies between linux and solaris? I could add them to the howto.

This is the most difficult part, as there is very little docs around.
I am planning to add some demo jsps, but they will not be ready any soon
(those that i have are very messy, definitely not ready for public
scrutiny).

What might help you is the php docs. Php classes are rather similar to
Java ones.

For this see the Q&A at the end of the HOWTO. PLease remember that your
system path (linux/windows) is different from that searched for java.
As i said in the q&a there is a reference to an excellent thread on
tomcat-users that should help you out.
