Subject: Tomcat4 feature set

Hi,
 
Besides the obvious .html, servlet, and JSP, what are the other features
supported by Tomcat4? Such as JNDI, JDBC etc.
Is there a document explains the supported feature set?
 
Thanks!

Zhenxin,

Questions like this are better posted to the tomcat-user mailing list.

Tomcat is the reference implementation of the Servlet and JSP specs, and
that is basically the "supported feature set".

It will run whatever Java logic (JDBC, JNDI, etc) you care to put in your
Servlets.

A good place to start (besides the source code and conf/server.xml) is

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/index.html

The API javadocs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/servletapi/index.html

In short, Tomcat is really distributed with a feature set supporting a web
server deployment. Tomcat may use JDBC or JNDI or other Java technologies in
the course of its execution, but it is not a frontend for other Java
services by default - that is up to the developer of the servlets!
