There are two separate modules that support Java in AOLserver: ns_tomcat
which provides an identical interface as Apache tomcat (and no real
advantages) and ns_java, which is coming out of the OpenACS project.  ns_java
exposes AOLserver's pooled, persistent database API to java.

There's also support available for Python, though there's still a lot of
work to be done to support the full AOLserver API (same's true of ns_java,
actually).

If you use ADP pages, your use of Tcl is typically restricted to snippets of
code anyway, so I've never really understood the complaints about Tcl...
