Does redhat 6.1 come already installed with a JSP server. Or do i have to download it somewhere. If I do need one which one should i use and where can I get it.

I don't know if it comes with one, but I'd suggest getting a new one anyway.

Tomcat (from the Apache Software Foundation) and Jetty are probably good choices, as is Resin.

FYI, this is probably a fairly technical area. If you're a Linux newbie, it might be a good idea to start with Apache and work your way up.

Hey guys, just curiosity questoins.

What are the major differences between TomCat and Apache?

Apache does not support JSP but tomcat does right? Is there anything else? Also...

what exactly is JSP? Java server pages right? Is it kind of like a language that is complied on the server side for doing Java stuff? I'm not too clear on everything http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif Thanks for any info you can give me.

You know about as much as me. I am trying to figure this stuff out as I go along. Needless to say I am totally lost.

Apache is an HTTP daemon - in other words, a web server. It serves static, plaintext HTML. However, it has a modular architecture and a full API which allows other people to 'plugin' more complex stuff, into the basic framework of a webserver -- these optional 'plugins' are called modules. For example, mod_perl embeds a full Perl interpreter in Apache (which means Perl scripts execute much faster, and you can use Perl to access Apache's internals).

What are the major differences between TomCat and Apache?

Tomcat is a Java Servlet + Java Server Pages engine. Apache is a webserver.
