Apache Tomcat, commonly referred to as Tomcat, is an open-source web server and servlet container that serves as a robust platform for running Java-based web applications. Developed by the Apache Software Foundation, Tomcat provides a lightweight and efficient environment for hosting web applications, supporting various Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. It acts as a bridge between web servers and Java applications, handling the processing of incoming requests, managing servlets and JSPs, and delivering dynamic content to clients. With its scalability, stability, and extensive feature set, Apache Tomcat has become a widely adopted solution for deploying Java web applications across different operating systems.
