Apache and Tomcat

Apache and Tomcat are independent and can be integrated on a single server.

An analogy: Apache is a truck that can hold something like HTML. But the water must be filled with containers (buckets), and Tomcat is a bucket (a water like Java), and the bucket can be kept out of the truck.

Apache only supports static Web pages, but dynamic Web pages like asp,php,cgi,jsp need to be handled by Tomcat.

**jsp=java Server Pages (Java Server Web page)
**asp=active Server Pages (Active Server Web page)
**cgi=common Gateway Interface (Universal Gateways Interface)
**j2ee=java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (JAVA2 Platform, Corporate Edition)
**xml=extensible Markup Language (extended Markup Language)
