A few months back there were some problems with Jakarta running under 
Apache 2.0, you may want to check the Jakarta site for news on whether 
or not those issues have been fixed.

I no longer work on Apache/Tomcat systems so I haven't kept up on it 
since then, but there was good information about it on the 
jakarta.apache.org site.
