Ubuntu Tomcat6 mounted and set to auto start

Tomcat is a core project in the Jakarta Project of the Apache Software Foundation (Apache Software Foundation), developed jointly by Apache, Sun and other companies and individuals. With Sun's involvement and support, the latest servlet and JSP specifications are always reflected in Tomcat, and Tomcat 5 supports the latest servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specifications. Because Tomcat technology advanced, stable performance, and free, so deeply loved by the Java enthusiasts and has been recognized by some software developers, as the current more popular Web application server. The current version is 6.0.

Tomcat is very popular with programmers, because it is running with a small system resources, scalability, support load balancing and mail services, such as the development of application systems commonly used functions; and it is constantly improving and improving, any interested programmers can change it or add new features.

Tomcat is a small lightweight application server that is commonly used in small and medium-sized systems and concurrent access users, and is the first choice for developing and debugging JSP programs. For a beginner, it can be argued that when you configure the Apache server on a single machine, you can use it to respond to requests for access to HTML pages. The tomcat part is actually an extension of the Apache server, but it is run independently, so when you run Tomcat, it actually runs as a standalone process with Apache.

The trick here is that when configured correctly, Apache serves HTML pages, while Tomcat actually runs JSP pages and servlet. In addition, Tomcat, like IIS, Apache, and other Web servers, has the ability to handle HTML pages, as well as a servlet and JSP container, and a stand-alone servlet container is the default mode for Tomcat. However, Tomcat has less ability to handle static HTML than the Apache server.
