the code uses Chinese variable and function

I'm mostly asking this list for help with the question of using Tomcat in

So we don't use Tomcat anywhere right now, so yeah that's unprecedented.
Just a note that Tomcat is in use by analytics as part of the

packages, which of course is quite a different thing than setting up and
maintaining an instance generally for services.
