Hi Jon,
you can run EGL applications in Tomcat.
Tomcat is officially supported by EGL.

Neither had Jon! (although I do know people who would be interested
in that - sadly it will also make them more annoyed that RPG code gen
is not supported but ...)
I am just exploring the whole world of EGL and trying to understand
where and how it can be fitted into the universe that I see with my
clients.
One of the major issues I face with EGL is the App Server
dependency. Of the customers I have worked with recently (not
counting those I meet at conferences) well over 50% are already
committed to .Net. In a couple of cases there were problems even
getting WDSC usage authorized because the dreaded "WebSphere" word
sent the Microsofties apoplectic at the threat to their fiefdom! And
yes I am being serious - we had one class put on hold for quite a
while until they could deal with that issue.
In such cases, tools like RPG-CGI and even PHP are often an option as
they can be introduced on a "stealth" basis (When there is no charge
for something you don't have to get it authorized!). Tomcat might
work on the same principal, but WAS just ain't gonna happen. I guess
that now that the built-in app server is supported for EGL that it
may provide an answer too, but will scalability then become an issue?
