The thread title is misleading, and makes it sound like you want to run Apache Tomcat (which is a Java application) on OS2008. This is theoretically possible with the great strides made with Jalimo recently, but I've not tried it.
For accessing a Tomcat-run website on your N800, you just visit it in the web browser. As far as the browser is concerned you're just getting back standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images: it cares not how it was generated.
For example, http://www.taskt.com/ is a site I run on Tomcat and works perfectly on IT OS.
So, if you have a problem with a website which is run on Tomcat then it's a problem with something specific to that site, i.e. it might need a later version of Flash, or use Java applets, or some browser-specific elements. You'd have to raise it with the site owners, probably.

Ahh - I understand. No I don't want to run an Apache server - I want to access a web site that is running Apache Tomcat and OS2008 will not open it. Can anyone tell me how to figure out exactly which function of that page that OS2008 is not wanting to run?

Forgive me if this is wrong, but I'm going to assume you're not a web developer: that means the chances of you working it out will be slim. The best way is to ask someone who knows more about the underlying technologies (can you share the URL here?).
However, having said that, I'd say it's most likely to be a Java applet, based on your description of the site. If you visit the site as the first thing you do on a newly rebooted Windows machine, check to see if the Java plugin icon is not in the status bar before you visit the site, but is there afterwards.
It looks something like this:
If it is Java, you're pretty much out of luck. Your best options are:

- VNC or Remote Desktop to another machine with a Java browser plugin
- Assistance with the Jalimo project to stabilise their Java Runtime Environment so that it can be the basis of a Java browser plugin
- Dump off information you might need as a PDF, and take that with you
- Ask them nicely to change their website

Can anyone tell me how I can view and interact with a website that is running Apache Tomcat 5.0.28? It is an appliance industry web site that I would love to be able to access remotely with my N800.
