RE: Web server info

I'm going to pick on your semantics a little - using Tomcat, you DO 
have a web server - it is just built into Tomcat. It is fairly 
automatic to set up and is a fine solution for lighter weight kinds 
of things, IIRC. And you can also tie in to Apache, etc. I'm not sure 
at what point one turns away from the internal web server and uses an 
external one. Does WAS also have an internal web server?
