After you unarchive this file, take a look at
jakarta-servletapi-3.2.3/docs/index.html.
I believe this is the source for Tomcat servlet.jar. Tomcat is an
application server for the methods/functions contained in the
servlet.jar. Um, can anyone else come up with a better explanation? Like
St. Augustine, I know what it is until you ask me to explain it. :)

It's servlet api docs. Or at least that's what my cursory look said it was.
