Introduction to Tomcat Server |
|
|
Tomcat is an open source web server developed
by Apache Group. Apache Tomcat is the servlet
container that is used in the official Reference
Implementation for the Java Servlet and
JavaServer Pages technologies. The Java Servlet
and JavaServer Pages specifications are
developed by Sun under the Java Community
Process. Web Servers like Apache Tomcat
support only web components while an
application server supports web components
as well as business components (BEAs Weblogic,
is one of the popular application server).
Installation and Configuration of the Tomcat Server
Here we are illustrating the guidelines to install
and configure the Tomcat 6.0.10, as a standalone
web server only for Microsoft Windows.
Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily
using the Windows installer. Sometime Apache
Tomcat is referred, as the Jakarta Tomcat so
don’t confuse between the two.
Steps involved in installation and configuration
process for Tomcat 6.0.10 are illustrated below:
Step 1: Installation of JDK: Installation of
Tomcat 6.0.10 requires the JVM compatible with
Java 1.5 (Java 5) and Java 1.6 (Java 6) so don’t
forget to install the needed JDK on your system
(if not installed) and to set the classpath.
Step 2: Setting the class path variable for
JDK: There are two methods to set the
classpath.
1. Set the class path using the following
command.
setPATH=”C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin”;%PATH%
2. The other way of setting the class path
variable are:
Right click on the My Computer->properties
->advance->Environment Variables-> path.
Set bin directory path of JDK in the path
variable. |

Step 3: Now it’s time to shift on to the
installation process of Tomcat 6.0.10. It takes
various steps for installing and configuring the
Tomcat 6.0. For Windows, Tomcat comes in two
forms: .zip file and the Windows installer (.exe
file). Here we are exploring the installation
process by using the .exe file. The directory
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.10 is the common
installation directory as it is pre-specified C:\
as the top-level directory. First unpack the
zipped file and simply execute the .exe file.
The above shown screen shot is the first one
shown in the installation process. Just click on
the Next button to continue the installation
process.
