Summary

This chapter was a quick introduction to dynamic Web content and the Tomcat Web server. You learned about the emergence of CGI, its problems, and the various solutions that have been developed over the years. You saw how servlets are Java’s answer to the CGI problem and that Tomcat is the reference implementation of the Servlet specification as outlined by Sun Microsystems.

The chapter then discussed Tomcat’s architecture and how all its components fit together in a flexible and highly customizable way. Each component is nested inside another to allow for easy configuration and extensibility.

Now that you’re familiar with Tomcat, you’ll learn about how to install it on various platforms.
