Folks, I've had a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/ but I can't find reference to what Tomcat is exactly... Correct me if I am wrong but I understood that one could serve java applets from any server - I can't see the benifits of Tomcat. I ask because I see a job spec that asks for it as a requirement - Sometimes it is a regular requirement.... I ask in this ng because it gets Apache web server posts and my ISP doesn't have a tomcat related group. I'd hope someone could help... Thanks Randell D. |

Correct me if I am wrong but I > understood that one could serve java applets from any server Tomcat is a servlet container - it executes servlets and returns the result (usually an HTML document) to the browser. The Java runs on the server (as opposed to applets where the Java runs on the client). -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/> Home is where the ~/.bashrc is |
