Has anyone setup Forte 3.0 CE and Tomcat 3.2?

Hey all,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to set up Forte 3.0 CE to
use Tomcat 3.2?

Hi Mark, I'm also new to these technologies and am trying to learn how to
use tomcat 3.2.3 as well as forte 3.0 CE.

i bumped my head against a similar concept yesterday.

my first question to the group is:
is there a better development environment than forte 3.0 CE?  I like the
product but it is way more than what i need for learning how to write
webpages w/ java technologies.  I'm of course attracted to the "FREE"
software as well as the no purse strings attached to the jakarta open
source.

I'd like to find open source or freeware to continue my jakarta based
development efforts. something that doesn't try to make the jre as well as
servers and the kitchen sink a module inside of its world.  it would
probably be fine once i understand it but for now i want to concentrate on
writing java not learning an ide.

the experience i have with tomcat inside of forte is that as soon as you run
a jsp page, forte takes its internal version of tomcat 3.2 and creates it
inside of itself as a "module".
this was automatic and as you see in the help files you can also go in and
make tomcat 3.2 the default server.

what i was trying to understand from the help files was that forte takes
server.xml and makes it a property sheet which you can edit.  when you
execute the file, a browser will open set to the local machine name as the
server and the directory you created the page in.  so to manually setup a
localhost site different than the mounted file system you'll have to learn
how forte integrates the tomcat files into the ide.
