Working with Tomcat
Tomcat adds Java servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) capabilities to Mac OS X Server.
Java servlets are Java-based applications that run on your server, in contrast to Java
applets, which run on the user’s computer. JavaServer Pages let you embed Java
servlets in your HTML web pages.
The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specications are developed by Sun Microsystems
under the Java Community Process. The current production series is the Tomcat 4.1.x
series, which implements Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 specications.
For more information about Tomcat and documentation for this software, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/.
For information about Java Servlets that you can use on your web server, see:
 java.sun.com/products/servlet
 java.sun.com/products/jsp
By default, the Tomcat management console and status service are turned o. Consult
the Apache Tomcat documentation (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.
html) to enable and secure these services for your deployment environment. It is
recommended that Web service be secured behind a rewall.
For more resources, consult the O’Reilly book Tomcat the Denitive Guide (www.oreilly.com).
Setting Tomcat as the Application Container
You use Server Admin to work with Tomcat. You can set Tomcat to start when the
server starts. This ensures that the Tomcat module starts after a power failure or after
the server shuts down.
You can use Server Admin or Terminal to enable Tomcat.
To start Tomcat using Server Admin:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2 Click the triangle at the left of the server.
The list of services appears.
3 From the expanded Servers list, select Web.
