Tomcat is an application
server from the Apache Software Foundation that executes Java servlets and
renders Web pages that include Java Server Page
coding. Described as a "reference implementation" of the Java Servlet and the Java Server Page
specifications, Tomcat is the result of an open collaboration of developers and is available from
the Apache
Web site in both binary and source versions. Tomcat can be used as either a standalone product with
its own internal Web
server or together with other Web servers, including Apache,
Netscape Enterprise Server, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS),
and Microsoft Personal Web
Server. Tomcat requires a Java Runtime Enterprise Environment that conforms to JRE 1.1 or
later.
Tomcat is one of several open source collaborations that are collectively known as Jakarta.
