It is very neccessary, afaik to include Tomcat in this article and to keep it updated for the reason that is has been used for Enterprise reasons on FreeBSD, in places like Germany, where I have been. I implemented Tomcat in one of the places in UK, and they have been happy with for a year now. Also, according to Murray Stokely, many people are demanding a Tomcat guide for FreeBSD, which _can_ be this article as suggested in the Problem Report which got this article committed (PR: docs/36722).
