The Apache Jakarta Project
• The Apache Jakarta Project “creates and maintains
open source solutions on the Java platform for
distribution to the public at no charge”
• Apache Jakarta Tomcat--or just “Tomcat”--is one of
those projects
• Tomcat is a container for servlets
– Tomcat can act as a simple standalone server for Web
applications that use HTML, servlets, and JSP
– Apache is an industrial-strength, highly optimized server
that can be extended with Tomcat

Getting Tomcat
• The Apache Jakarta website is hard to navigate
• If you want to get Tomcat, one reasonable download site is
http://mirrors.xtria.com/apache/jakarta/tomcat5/v5.0.29/bin/
• You would need the whole “tarball”, which will have a name such as
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.29.tar.gz
• An excellent tutorial site is Configuring & Using Apache
Tomcat, http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/
– This site also contains many examples you can use to test your installation
• Installing Tomcat by itself is much easier than installing Apache and
then adding Tomcat to it

configuration data
– This directory is placed under your home directory
