While TC 4.0 started out as a Revolution, TC 4.1 is an Evolution over that.
As Chris mentioned, they are compatible if you are only using the Servlet
2.3/JSP 1.2 APIs. However, I don't believe that they are compatible if you
have custom Realms, Valves, etc. But I think most of the time you just need
to recompile your custom component against 4.1. Also, the 4.0 Connectors
are deprecated in 4.1 in favor of the Coyote Connectors. So you shouldn't
expect to just copy over your server.xml file and have it work well.

Tomcat 4.1 is supported (hey, we just shocked people yesterday telling them
that 3.3 is still supported :), mostly by Mark. Since he also is mostly
updating the Tomcat security pages, I'm guessing that all of the known
security problems are fixed there, but I haven't done an audit (don't use it
in my day job anymore).
