Just to be clear, there are a lot of "should" statements below and other
cases that should use this key word.
JSPs, servlets and filters /should /be portable between servlet engines
supporting the same spec level. In most cases they are. There are,
however, bugs and forgiving behaviors specific to each servlet engine.
Thus you may encounter bugs specific to WebSphere or cases where Tomcat
interpreted the specs in a more forgiving manner than WebSphere, which
generally seems to use the most restrictive interpretation of the spec
where anything is subject to interpretation.

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.
It seems to have additional
functionalities compared to Tomcat, but since I do not understand them
and think I don't need them, it should be ok.
That's the case for most people. Those "additional functionalities" are
the "rest" of the J2EE stuff -- the stuff other than servlets and JSPs.
I basically wanted to know if I could run a couple of servlets on it
which I run on Tomcat
Yes.
and run also the UrlRewriteFilter
Yes.
and the Jespa NTLM authentication filter (maybe yes, I'll ask ioplex).
Probably. Basically, if it runs under a servlet container, it should run
under a J2EE container (the latter is a superset of the former).
Websphere by itself, like Tomcat, can probably serve static content too.
I'm sure it can.
Enjoy!
