I don't know what "WARP" *means* (it may be an acronym, I'm not sure,
maybe something like Web Application ??? Protocol), but it's a
protocol available for setting up communication between a web server
and Tomcat, commonly known as a "connector".  As such, it's got two
parts, one that is integrated into the web server, and one that is
part of Tomcat.  I think it can be used with any web server, but most
typically it is used with Apache.  For the Apache side of the
connector, there is an Apache module mod_webapp, that you integrate
into Apache the same way as other Apache modules.  If you can find a
binary of it, you can use that, else you'll need to compile it from
the source.  The Tomcat side of the connector comes with the Tomcat
distribution (I believe it's all Java), and normally you don't need to
do anything to build it.  (I suppose you could compile it from the
source, but I think the Tomcat binary distribution should -- in theory
:-) -- work on any platform, it's basically all Java.)
