The Apache web server is not a servlet container.

Also, please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "bw" in place of "between" and "diff" rather than "difference" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

thanks,

Apache is a software manfacturer: http://apache.org

Apache HTTP Server is a C based server product which by default serves static files only and provides a CGI backend: http://httpd.apache.org You can add web modules to let it serve dynamic files. A commonly used one is PHP, a C based hypertext processor.

Apache Tomcat is a Java based server product which contains a Java EE web container and thus is capable to serve JSP and Servlet: http://tomcat.apache.org
