Hi,
I'm just letting you know that this didn't go on deaf ears.
Tomcat has been a pain in the rear because of the java issue.
Actually, java has been the pain in the rear, and because tomcat is based on 
java, it too is very painful.
Anyway, we just had another security update for tomcat, and it is my goal to 
get it to work in S.L. 5.  It's probrubly too late for you, but for the next 
person who comes along, I'm going to get this bug squashed.
