To follow up to myself (bad form, sorry, I know), it appears I can get

tomcat5-5.0.27-2jpp_1rh.noarch.rpm

from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/3/en/RHAPS/i386/RPMS/ 
which _still_ isn't the same version as I had before.

It really looks like RedHat's documentation is way, way out of date when it 
comes to Application Server stuff.  There are missing URLs 
(http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/appserver/) and some of the versions of 
RPMs are incorrect within the documentation.  Did something happen to the 
Application Server channel and I missed it?
