Antony,

No unique features, I wouldn't think.  Tomcat is the reference
implementation of Sun's servlet and JSP specification, but there are other
implementations around (such as Jetty, for example).  Its support for the
spec is very thorough, of course, and it also has full support for serving
static files, SSI, CGI, etc.  Also, it's embeddable in other web servers,
such as Apache, IIS, etc.  and can add servlet and JSP support to them.  I
don't know whether anybody has bothered to write the necessary glue for any
other servlet containers so this may be a unique feature.  Oh, and
multiplatform support without compilation.

By the way, did you get the job?
