OK, I have a few answers for you...

> 1. What is Tomcat and Apache?

Apache is a openly distributed webserver. Tomcat is an extension that works with a
large number of webvservers that enables your webserver to use JSP files.  I
unfortunately can't tell you specifics, but we used to use Tomcat and our security
tech threw a fit. Said it has a lot of security holes and problems and ust isn't up
to production standards yet. We're now using Resin, which seems to run infinitely
fasted and more smoothly anyway. Java has a list of servers and extensions that
support JSP up on their site.

> 2. Is Tomcat a Webserver?

I may be wrong, but I believe Tomcat only runs as an add-on.

Hope it was helpful.
