Correct.

It's not too difficult to change to Tomcat, after reading the servlet
2.2 / JSP 1.1 spec.
One of the biggest differences is the support for 'web applications'
which are grouped together resources (html, jsp, xml, etc files) which
are managed together by a 'web application' specific config file. This
is a great step forward from having single files all strung together
by URL links.

Tomcat is a great implementation to work with. I've been using it
on a Debian system for the past 7-8 months.
I'm currently in the Debian 'new maintainer' queue. When I come out
the other end I intend to package Tomcat and a couple other pieces of
Apache software up (unless someone else has already sent out an ITP
mail).
Cheers,
Marcus
