Tomcat server on V5 R4 machine

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's what I am trying to do.  I want to use GWT (Google Web Toolkit) 
to develop applications.  It seems to me to be well established, backed 
by a winning team, and very flexible.  It seems ideal for a programmer 
who is learning Java.  I want to use it with AS400 applications.and data 
files.  In my opinion it would be nice if I could download and apply a 
Tomcat server to the AS/400 and have the application and the data all on 
the same box. 

I have legitimate access to a V5R4 machine that is on the Internet.  It 
looks to me like it is easy to do; at least, thats the way I read the 
instructions.  But I can't make it happen.  Obviously I need more basic 
instructions.

Is my plan flawed? Fraught with danger?  Idiotic?  Are there simple yet 
complete instructions that someone can point me to that I can handle?
