What does the Apache Tomcat server do ?

[River Brown]

What is its purpose?

[Emerson Abby]

Tomcat is used for Java web applications that do not require the entire Java EE requirements but still require a trustworthy tool.

[Jamie Lee]

Tomcat isn't a comprehensive application server because it just serves as a Web server and a Servlet container.
Tomcat's full name is "Apache Tomcat," and it was created in an open, collaborative environment and released for the first time in 1998.

[Clara Smith]

Tomcat is a web server and a container for Servlet/JavaServer Pages. It's frequently used as an application server for web-only applications, although it lacks the full set of capabilities that a Java EE application server would provide.

When the Tomcat server starts, what happens?

[Hallie Russell]

The target section of the file is compiled. The file is copied to the deployment folder when it is published. Tomcat detects a change in a class file and reloads the context, the web application is restarted.
