Good.

I see. AS prints "Setting HTTP response content-type: 'null'", which
later causes NullPointerException. Thanks for bugreport! :)

I have no experience with Tomcat and vhosts, but I think this is more a
question of Tomcat than AS, which behaves just as a usual servlet = if
you get working Tomcat + vhost + any servlet, you should be able to use
AS in a similar manner.

Btw, some people prefer Jetty over Tomcat esp. because of speed.
