We don't mind the competition here. Keeps us on our toes.
Just kidding.
What I meant to ask (me being the not-so-Java specialist see) was, since Weblogic is a 
servlet engine, and Tomcat is a servlet engine, both ought to abide by the servlet spec 
and such, so isn't the Weblogic-oriented module usable with Tomcat ?
Or is this too much of a rosy view of the world ?

Anyway, the only other thing that comes to mind is, since you seem to be an OAM customer, 
can you not ask the OAM support people if OAM sets the internal Apache user-id or not ?
