Platforms that run Tomcat

Good evening, the three platforms support tomcat in all versions.

Tomcat has long been considered a standard implementation and reference for new versions of the Servlets API. It is also the default servlet container used by JBoss. It remains in first place in the market, but today it has this place disputed by Jetty and Grizzly (the latter is the servlet container that is part of the Oracle / Sun application server, Glassfish).

Enter the installation directory and run the startup.sh script:

cd apache-tomcat / bin ./startup.sh Enter the tomcat installation directory and run the shutdown.sh program:

cd apache-tomcat / bin ./shutdown.sh We will learn in the future how to start the container from within Eclipse itself, for convenience and to facilitate the use of the debug.

Tomcat on Windows

To install Tomcat on Windows simply run the .exe file that can be downloaded from the Tomcat site (as we say, give preference to zip). After that, you can use the startup.bat and shutdown.bat scripts, similarly to the Linux scripts. Tomato will work in any environment compatible with Java Enterprise Edition, be it Linux, Windows or Mac OS.
