Actually I am using 6.0.18 as the tomcat version. I'll look up servlet spec 2.5
I've decided to deploy the application on the subdomains and use the main .com as a signup for the service. Thank you very much Chris, I really appreciate it! Also as far as a book goes, what would you suggest? I have O'Reilly's Tomcat book, but I am less than impressed with it.
