Web.xml setup for web application problem

Question

WLS v5.1 on Windows 2000---standard installation.
I am setting up a web app call Kermit with its own web.xml with the
following:
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.servlet.classpath</param-name>
<param-value>c:/weblogic/Kermit/WEB-INF/classes</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.servlet.reloadCheckSecs</param-name>
<param-value>1</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.indexDirectories</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.register.*.jsp</param-name>
<param-value>weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp</param-name>
<param-value>compileCommand=c:/jdk1.2.2/bin/javac.exe;workingDir=C:/weblogic
/Kermit/Compiled</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.httpd.documentRoot</param-name>
<param-value>web/</param-value>
</context-param>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
First off, the servlets do not redeployed properly after compilation. Any
changes I made to a servlet, I had to down the weblogic server and bring it
back up. What am I doing wrong with this??
Second, weblogic.httpd.indexDirectories should not allow directory browse ..
but it still does for this app. Am I missing something else?
Third, JSP configuration that specifies where a directory is supposed to be
compiled is useless cuz' it's always compiled in tmpwar dir, which is
dynamically created if not already there. Should I add something else to
this???
Fourth, weblogic.httpd.documentRoot should allow me to just type in a URL,
such as http://relyon1:7001/Kermit, and it should redirect to a
file(specified by welcome-file-list tag) under the directory
web(/weblogic/Kermit/web). However, it's not doing it.
From the documentation that I've read, this should have been very siimple
but it's not working the way the docs have it made it out be.... am I
missing anything else??
Please help.

Currently we only officially support ADF 11g deployment to WebLogic.
There is at least one report of someone running this on Tomcat here:
JDev 11.1.1.1.0 + ADF+ BC4J application on Tomcat6
Note that this will require you to have an ADF runtime license though.
