It is not as simple as Michael implies, It is my understanding that tomcat 6 makes many improvements over tomcat 5. If this is correct then it makes choosing between 5 and 6 more complicated than you suggest. (And to someone who does not know what the JSP/servlet specs are, this is even more unclear). My guess at the best answer is to use 6 even if you dont need all of the features of 6, as 5 is bound to become unsupported long before 6.

Michael,

I don't understand where the confusion lies in the first question.

At tomcat.apache.org, you see that under "production quality releases",
version 6.0.13 is listed as well as 5.5.23. If you don't need JSP Spec
2.1, then you can use 5.5.23, if that factor doesn't matter, than just
deploy 6.0.13. We are currently using 6.0 in production and it is stable
for our company. There is documentation available as well that describes
what to do for tomcat servers running in production. Those
recommendations should be followed as well.
