“Developers volunteers Apache Tomcat have realized the version 7.0.6 of’ open-source Java servlet container. ‘This is the first stable release of Tomcat 7,’ developer Mark Thomas writes in an e-mail announcing the release in some mailing lists of programmers Tomcat.

Although not a Application Server full, Tomcat implements the features described in the specific Java Enterprise Edition Web. More specifically, It supports version 3.0 of Servlet API (application programming interface) and version 2.2 of JavaServer Pages, both sides have recently been ratified in JEE 6.

A servlet container manages the application based on Java which can be accessed from a Web browser. A major area of improvement was in configuration management for Web applications. In previous versions all the Web app configuration changes should be included in a single file web.xml, a process that has led to enormous web.xml file as well as security risks.”
