Hi All,

According to me, it would be better to make a guide, which addresses the
following stuff, both for long term, and short term:

  o Installation
  o Performance (of both Java and FreeBSD, things like tuning, etc.)
  o Security

  o Installing Tomcat-x (x is a version updated constantly)
  o Using Tomcat-x
  o FreeBSD specific tweaking of Tomcat-x

  o ICU of other Jakarta Apache programs (Cactus, Velocity, Jetspeed...)
  o Other stuff found interesting by other members

ICU = Installation, Configuration and Usage on FreeBSD.

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).

Sincerely,
