What does the Apache Tomcat server do ?

Ok. Thanks all.

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.

When the Tomcat server starts, what happens?

[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.

[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.

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