Hello,

Thanks for the information.  I noticed some of the spelling mistakes and
stuff before, but I will correct them when the article will get committed,
and it will be the first thing I would do. :)

I will also fix section 2 for this.  Also, regarding section 3.2, when I
and my co-author were writing this article, Tomcat4 the port was not out
yet, so we had to document the other way.

In the Problem Report which holds this article, I have made changes a
couple of times and sent it to the PR, and people are not very happy
for my so called "quick changes" so I have agreed with some developers
that I will make all the changes when it gets committed. :)

Thanks for info btw,
Regards,

  -- Hiten
