Probably. I mean, you could get your data from some service instead of
directly from the database. Otherwise, you're going to need a
server-side datasource.

Can you explain this in more detail? Do you mean that, if you were to
get Tomcat setup, that nobody from the Internet could access it? That is
eitehr good or bad depending in who you are trying to serve (remote
users on an intranet: good; remote users on the Internet: bad).

If you already have Weblogic, why not stick with it? I think you'll find
that your network ops team will like it better if you play by existing
rules rather than asking them to support Tomcat in addition to what
they're already doing.

Basically, a server-side data source is a connection to the database.
When you're using Java, this is a JDBC connection. Most DataSources do
nice things like connection pooling. The "server-side" moniker refers to
where the code/data are stored. For web applications, unless you are
using AJAX or pure javscript (or <shiver> jscript or <double shiver>
vbscript), nothing you do will be considered anything other than
server-side.
