Tomcat 5 implements the Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages 2.0 specifications from the Java Community Process, and includes many additional features that make it a useful platform for developing and deploying web applications and web services. The generalized idea is: CLIENT | | http request/response (maybe this request is to an application) | APACHE web server (with mod_proxy enabled) receive the request. if the request is a request to an application within tomcat apache send the request to tomcat (the container of web applications) | | request is forwarded to the container | TOMCAT | | request is forwarded (again) to the appropriated application. | APPLICATION | | query to a db store | DB STORE Jorge Dávila.
