Servlet containers can also server static resources (ie act as a web server). An app server in the J2EE sense usually means a Servlet container combined with EJB container.

Tomcat does not support the myriad of plugins, extension and modules that Apache or some of the other web servers do. Still most sites can easily be supported by Tomcat and the newer versions are very, very close in terms of performance for serving straight HTML pages.

RE: Tomcat Webserver
Hi, Tomcat is a webserver and can function as such by itself. You don't have to have Apache or IIS or anything in front of it. The DocumentRoot directory is $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/, but you should read the Tomcat configuration reference as it's vastly different from Apache. There are multiple document roots, one per web application.

RE: Tomcat Webserver
Tomcat is capable of server static and dynamic content with out Apache. One of the main benefits to using Apache is to let Apache server the static content and thereby reduce the load on Tomcat. By default, the document roots for your various webapps are in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/$WEBAPP_NAME . At least that's true of Tomcat 4.1.x. I haven't begun using 5.0.x yet. All of this is covered in the docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/index.html -Original Message- From: Marcelo Muzilli (Gelt) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat Webserver Importance: High Howdy TomcatERs, I would like to know if Tomcat has an webserver inside it or do I have to work with Apache (for example) together.

RE: Tomcat Webserver
Yes tomcat can also serve static pages. You just need to create a web app and place your files in there.
