Re: ~ TOMCAT ~
TomCat is a web container developed at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, providing an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a web server. It adds tools for configuration and management but can also be configured by editing configuration files that are normally XML-formatted. Tomcat includes its own HTTP server internally.
The typical and default directory hierarchy of a Tomcat installation comprises the following:
- bin - startup, shutdown and other scripts and executables
- common - common classes that Catalina and web applications can use
- conf - XML files and related DTDs to configure Tomcat
- logs - Catalina and application logs
- server - classes used only by Catalina
- shared - classes shared by all web applications
- webapps - directory containing the web applications
- work - temporary storage for files and directories
However, alternative configurations are possible.
