Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server and Java servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Originally created in 1999, it began as the 'Catalina' project at Sun Microsystems before being donated to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).

Unlike traditional consumer products manufactured in a single physical location, Apache Tomcat is developed globally by a community of contributors. It serves as a reference implementation for the Jakarta Servlet and Jakarta Expression Language specifications. The brand and its development are governed by the Apache Software Foundation, a non-profit corporation based in the United States, which ensures the software remains free and accessible to the public under the Apache License 2.0.
