Apache Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlets and Java Server Pages technologies. The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are developed by Sun under the Java Community Process. Apache Tomcat is developed in an open and participatory environment and released under the Apache Software License.
Tomcat is a part of the Jakarta Project. Tomcat is intended to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from around the world. Apache Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations. Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlets and Java Server Pages. It provides a JVM and associated elements to give a complete Java Runtime Environment and it also provides a web server software to make that environment accessible on the web.
While configuration and management tools are also provided , the configuration data is largely held in XML. Tom Cat is much more than just an implementation of servlets and JSPs. It is the official reference implementation and the standard against which all other suppliers of containers for servlets and JSPs compare their products. Tomcat has become a benchmark for developers and suppliers all over the globe. If the code developed by a supplier works under Tomcat, then it should safely work under all environments. Such is the guarantee provided by TomCat.
