New to Jetspeed 2 - configuration and compatability questions

[Lynette Halka-Peel <lp...@hsmclothes.com>]

All,

I'm brand new to this mailing list and Jetspeed 2, have 4 days
experience with it.  My client wants me to develop a pilot web portal in
just 6 weeks, so I choose Jetspeed 2.  The portal will be an online
application to allow consumers to make purchases from an inventory of
items.  I'm starting with zero J2EE infrastructure here because they
have never used J2EE.  I've created a MySQL database and plan to use
Tomcat 5.x.   My questions are:

1. Can a Jetspeed 2 application run on Microsoft SQL Server 2003 Web
Edition?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/overview/web.mspx#
E4D   I'm concerned that  MS may shut out some of the technologies used
within Jetspeed 2.

2. Regarding LDAP, what is the threshold of concurrent users that can be
accessing the web portal before response time is affected? 

3. Roughly how many concurrent users can Tomcat 5.x support?   

4. Finally, should I be using the Tomcat version that came installed
with the Jetspeed 2 binary or a separate installed version?  I've done a
lot of research and followed directions on
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started-binary.html.  It
can't find the property org.apache.jetspeed.server.home when I issue
command "maven j2:portal.genapp".  I've set CATALINA_HOME, made sure my
path was set up, and set my build properties to 

org.apache.jetspeed.server.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.5
org.apache.jetspeed.server.shared=C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/shared/lib/
org.apache.jetspeed.deploy.war.dir=C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/
org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.user = xxxx
org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.password = xxxx
org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.port = 8080
org.apache.jetspeed.catalina.version.major = 5.5
org.apache.jetspeed.server.context = projects
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.home = "C:/Documents and
Settings/internetdev/.maven/projects"
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.groupId = WebStore
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.artifactId = WebStore
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.name = Pilot Portal
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.currentVersion = 1.0

Thanks!  Sorry if these questions are so basic.
