This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
Hi I wonder if you guys/gals could clear some stuff up for me. Not sure if this should be in JBoss or Tomcat forum tho.
Questions
1) Does JBoss have its own servlet engine or is Apache Tomcat and JBoss's servlet engine one and the same thing.
2) Some of the documentation implies that Tomcat has its own embedded Webserver is this correct?
3) What really confuses me is that TomCat is often called Apache Tomcat (which may or may not have an embedded Web Server) but I see loads of Documentation talking about connecting it to Apache, which is as far as I'm aware also a Web Server!!!
4) Where does Catalina come into all this.
Last but not least we are running an application using JRun and have Virtual paths mapped in the JRun-Web.xml file e.g
1) Does JBoss have its own servlet engine or is Apache Tomcat and JBoss's servlet engine one and the same thing.
Apache Jakarta Tomcat is the servlet engine bundled with JBoss.
2) Some of the documentation implies that Tomcat has its own embedded Webserver is this correct?
Well Tomcat does act as a WebServer (as do all servlet containers)
3) What really confuses me is that TomCat is often called Apache Tomcat (which may or may not have an embedded Web Server) but I see loads of Documentation talking about connecting it to Apache, which is as far as I'm aware also a Web Server!!!
Apache HTTP Server is a seperate product - its a Web Server. Documentation talking about connecting anything to "Apache" is a little lazy. Apache is a software foundation under whose control exist a number of open source products, of which Apache HTTP Server is one, and so it Apache Jakarta Tomcat.
4) Where does Catalina come into all this.
Catalina is a version of the servlet container which appeared in Tomcat V4 [ November 26, 2004: Message edited by: Paul Sturrock ]
