tomcat applications monitoring

What is Apache Tomcat?

Apache Tomcat, often referred to simply as Tomcat, is a powerful open-source application server that enables the deployment and execution of Java-based web applications. It acts as a robust web container, facilitating the deployment and execution of Java web applications in a server environment.

Tomcat's primary role is to manage the lifecycle of web applications, handling tasks like servlet execution, request processing, and response generation. It provides a Java Servlet API and a JavaServer Pages (JSP) API, allowing developers to create dynamic web content and applications using Java.

Apache Tomcat supports various features essential for web application development, such as session management, security mechanisms, and integration with popular Java frameworks like Spring and Struts. It also offers configuration options for connecting to databases, managing user authentication, and enabling SSL encryption for secure communication.
