IMHO Tomcat is the best for servlets+jsp...
but security point of view runnin tomcat on 8080 is problematic in
production server.
see this comment below
* NOTE : check the following code in server.xml & please comment it in that
file
<!--
<Connector
className="org.apache.tomcat.service.SimpleTcpConnector">
<Parameter name="handler"
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
<Parameter name="port" value="8080"/>
</Connector>
-->
The first/above connector, HttpConnectionHandler, refers to the fact that
Tomcat is also
a small Web Server, which works on the port 8080 by default. It is great
for debugging,
but in production environment it may be a liability since it leaves a
backdoor for your
Web contents, which you cannot protect with password and/or HTTPS protocol.
You can change the port to something else
(but the hackers/Crackers (depends on their intention ........PHILIP can
tell u better the diff between hackers and crackers ) with any
basic port scanner [e.g., Satan or Saint] will find it in no time),
but essentially, in the
production environment you simply need to delete this portion or comment it
out with
a XML comment: <!-- -->.
