I understand that Tomcat is a free product no one is being paid to support it. I would go somewhere else (to get my question answered) except this is the only place I know to get help running Tomcat.

This is an volunteer user support forum. Noone is being paid to help you solve your problems. If you can't be polite, go somewhere else.

The problem is, I can't get it to work and no-one seems to be able to offer me any suggestions as to why its not working, or how to get it working.
