With SuSE it is best to use Zypper to install to install the app. Yast<br>
is good too, but zypper is best. The only time I won't use Zypper<br>
when you are installing something that in one of the repos, such as<br>
Skype or Google Earth.<br>
<br>
Example of how to use yast to install rpm<br>

Tomcat for SLE is at 6, like RHEL. If you are wanting to use Tomcat 7,<br>
you will have to down load and install yourself, but keep in mind,<br>
it's not support, because it not in the repo, but there are a enough<br>
website on how to install.<br>
<br>
One to keep in mind. Once you step out the repo and go your own, you<br>
might in dependencies hell. Worse that being in Limbo.<br>

I would urge you, however, to go with the SLES tomcat and add an additional rpm with your changes. That way you can continue to get updates and the like from SUSE and only have to maintain your extra bits.<br>
