can apache webserver run JSPs?

[S Goyal]

hi,
my client has apache webserver installed and running. on that he runs his php files etc.
now he is asking me to put my jsps in that itself and run them. is it possible. dont i need to install tomcat server and then put in JSPs in correct directory and then run them from there?

Correct, on its own, apache is not capable of servlets or JSPs. You need to install a web app container (such as Tomcat, Resin...).
You can then add a mod and configure apache to pass off any URLs that reference servlets and JSPs off to the web app container.
hth,
