I was wondering, what would I need to do, to setup a tomcat test on my
testbox?

Right now, I'm using the standard ibm http server... And were @ release r4m5

This topic might be better in web400 or java... but I would like to get my
feet wet doing some servlets...  Because I don't understand any of it....
yet!

thanks, tim
