Perhaps you should try somewhere that deals with web servers.
How you configure a web server to run CGI scripts is a feature of the
web server. It is completely independant of the language in which the
CGIs are written. You could write CGIs in C, Perl, bash, FORTRAN or
whatever and the webserver configuration (for a given web server would
be the same).
That said, my vague recollection is that Apache Tomcat is kinda "Apache
mod_java" with XML formated configuration files rather than the
plain-text ones you get in normal Apache. Appart from that I don't
think the config files are all that different.
But like I said this is a vague recollection and this is off-topic
here.
