Pre-install question
I have a Windows 2000 Server that I would like to be
able to process JSP files with. I do not have IIS
installed on this server.
I am getting confused with the difference between
Apache webserver and Tomcat. Do I need to download and
install Apache before using Tomcat?
What would be the best to do?
Thank you,
-Gregory Reddin

Tomcat 3.3 Release Date?
Posted by Jess Holle and Wendy Vidlak <je...@mediaone.net>.
Can anyone shed any light as to when Tomcat 3.3 will actually be released
(i.e. as a non-beta release)?
What are the open/known issues?
[I checked CVS, dev-mailing list, and Bugzilla to no avail.]

Tomcat can also act as a http server. So it will handle
your html as well as JSP's and servlets. Apache is not
required.
However many people choose to integrate the two so that
apache is managing the static content and Tomcat is managing
the dynamic content. There has been much recent discussion on
the list about whether this is the best configurtion to go for.
I don't intend to rehash all the arguments. Take a look at the archive
and decide what is best for you in the light of what you are
trying to do achieve with your applications.

I would suggest (particularly if you are just starting out with JSP's)
to do some development just with tomcat. Later on you can integrate
with another webserver (Apache,IIS or whatever) or just stick with using
tomcat on its own.

So if I only need to be able to run JSPs then all I
need is Tomcat? It's its own webserver?

Apache serves documents plain and simple. You request a file from the
server and it gives it back to you. Of course, there are lots of modules
written for Apache that enable it to do extra things, this is just an
extreeemely high level description =)
Tomcat is a servlet container (an environment that servlets run in) and a
jsp engine (process JSP requests).
Check out the introduction in the Tomcat 3.x guides on integrating Apache
with Tomcat for more info...
