These session snippets show how I installed and ran Jakarta Tomcat on MPE/iX.

Notice that I am using MPE/iX 5.5 and Java/iX 1.1.7 only to show that it
does not even seem to require the latest versions to work (at least for
those examples that I tried). 

As usual, this is "not HP supported" and "use at your own risk" ;-)
