Tomcat® Apache Server on Windows Server 2022

The Apache Tomcat® software is an open source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket technologies. The Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket specifications are developed under the Java Community Process.

Apache Tomcat software powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations

Tomcat is an application server designed to execute Java servlets and render web pages that use Java Server page coding. Tomcat acts as a “webserver” or “servlet container,”.

As a lightweight, highly flexible option, Tomcat enables quick load and redeploy times without sacrificing built-in customization options. In addition to providing stability, it also offers extra security for organizations that choose to position their Tomcat installation behind an extra firewall. Developers looking to run applications that operate seamlessly and fast should consider Tomcat as an option.
