APACHE on BS2000/OSD

Tomcat

Features, Components and Versions

Apache  Tomcat provides a Runtime Environment for over the Web accessible Java Code (Servlets), therefore it is called a Servlet Container. Furthermore it can convert Java Server Pages (static contents like HTML with embedded Java-Code) into executable Servlets by using the JSP Compiler Jasper.
Beyond it can act as Web Server for static contents, although the Apache Web Server is more practical for this purpose.
Tomcat offers two connectors: HTTP connector and AJP connector.
The HTTP connector is used for the direct access to or for the use behind a Web Server Proxy (e.g. Apache with mod_proxy).
The AJP connector is used for efficient connection to a Web Server which takes over the delivery of static contents.
