OVERVIEW
The Apache Tomcat® software is an open source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket technologies. The Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket specifications are developed under the Java Community Process.
If we want to send dynamic data or to make our website dynamic, we need to use the servlet. Hence, we generally need an HTTP server and what else we need is a container where we will run or servlet, so when we combine the HTTP server and the servlet (or we can say servlet container), they both combine to become a single server know as tomcat server.
