Tomcat-Standalone? what else..

hi all

the term Tomcat-Standalone is everywhere. what does standalone in this
context mean? tomcat is the one and only webserver (container) on the system
(no apache/iis etc present)? what would it be if it is NOT standalone?

thanks

Standalone means it's serving it's own web pages without going through any 
other server.  It's configured by default "out of the box" to do this on port 
8080.  Not standalone would be using another web service such as Apache or 
IIS to actually server web pages to clients with Tomcat only doing the 
backend work of compiling and running jsp pages and servlets.
