I had played with it using Jetty on my desktop and had hoped I could develop 
servlets using this and upload them directly to the Tomcat server.

Unfortunately it is hosted webspace I have, so I can't run anything 
additional on the server. The server administrator has said: "You should 
test your application with a security manager enabled. Catalina's default 
policy file is ok. E.g. use options like this with the default tomcat 
installlation;
startup.sh -security
or
startup.bat -security
if You're running windows."

I guess I need to setup a local Apache/Tomcat installation and play with 
security settings. I'd hoped this would be easy! Any tips/guidance would be 
very very much appreciated!

On a different subject, sorry I haven't sent you the JScheme/Antlr 'bridge' 
yet, it is working fine but I haven't packaged it neatly on it's own [though 
if anyone wants it right now email and I'll send undocumented source!]. I 
believe there is an Antlr version 3.0 on it's way which might change it a 
bit also.
