Play! app under Tomcat5 problem

[open]

When I'm trying to deploy my Play! app (prod mode) in a Tomcat 5
container (CentOs 5.4), I have this error :

Any idea about the issue ?

Apparently, Play! needs servlet API level 2.5, so the issue is to
change to Tomcat 6. Am I wrong ?

Yes it will work on tomcat 6.
