“Apache Tomcat (or Jakarta Tomcat or simply Tomcat) is
an open source servlet container developed by the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the
JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and
provides a “pure Java” HTTP web server environment for Java code to
run.“Tomcat should not be confused with the Apache web server, which
is a C implementation of an HTTP web server; these two web servers
are not bundled together. Apache Tomcat includes tools for
configuration and management, but can also be configured by editing
XML configuration files.“1 Preliminary Note
“This tutorial is based on Ubuntu 10.04 Server (Lucid Lynx), so
you should set up a basic Ubuntu 10.04 server installation with
Apache or a LAMP Server before you continue with this tutorial
(e.g. as shown in this tutorial: Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And
MySQL Support On Ubuntu 10.04 (LAMP)). The system should have a
static IP address. I use 192.168.1.100 as my IP address in this
tutorial and server1.example.com as the hostname.”
