I think this is important enough to point out, so I will: Java servlet
servers /all/ implement the same servlet specification. Different
versions of app servers support different versions of the specification,
though. For instance, Tomcat 5.x implements servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0
while Tomcat 6.x implements servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1.

That's the case for most people. Those "additional functionalities" are
the "rest" of the J2EE stuff -- the stuff other than servlets and JSPs.

Yes.

Yes.

Probably. Basically, if it runs under a servlet container, it should run
under a J2EE container (the latter is a superset of the former).

I'm sure it can.

Enjoy!
