is tomcat a competitor of ruby on rails? Or why did davidson praise it so highly - can you compare them?

I was surprised when I saw this high praise from James
Davidson, creator of Tomcat.
“Rails is the most well thought-out web development
framework I’ve ever used.
And that’s in a decade of doing web applications for a
living. I’ve built my
own frameworks, helped develop the Servlet API, and
have created more than
a few web servers from scratch. Nobody has done it
like this before.”
-James Duncan Davidson, Creator of Tomcat and Ant 

http://www.rubyonrails.org/quotes

Is it so great? As a long time Java programmer, I
wonder. (Dont tell me we need to switch!).

Good Question!

Probably the one good reason why god created Apache HTTP Server ..Ruby 
scripting language calls down to (native code) binaries on Apache HTTP 
Server where code is sectioned to Model View and Controller architecture...
Assuming you are implement AOP in Tomcat via injectors with Struts 2 (which 
also adhering to MVC architecture) on tomcat 5 /  tomcat 6 Catalina 
connector then you would be using 2 different implementations for AOP 
implementations of MVC Architecture
*As I am NOT a ruby expert maybe someone who is familiar with Ruby (on 
Rails) can advise the implementation details and how they address each of 
the Model View Controller layers*

HTH,
Martin--

Ruby on Rails is a framework. If you do things the way Rails expects  
you to
do things, its quite nice for doing frontends to databases.

Just don't expect a performance wonder.

No, you don't need to switch, but its definitely another tool worth  
looking
at, even if the product isn't as good as the hype.

Cheers

Andrew
