TomCat, Weblogic and other stuff
I have a request: please explain to someone who knows abolutely zilch about Java (me) what the heck TomCat and Weblogic is. I know TomCat runs on top of Apache and WebLogic is a bucket of tools (including a webserver) that runs Java, but can someone offer an explanation of what they are, similarities and differences between them, and why one is better than the other (money is no object, Open Source or not doesn't matter...I need a technical reason, not a social one). Thank you.

What are servlets? I know JSP is the Java Server Pages, which is like PHP...but in Java (a la Ralph Wiggum from Simpsons: I'm learnding)...Anyway, what are the components of a J2EE server?arborint wrote:The top proprietary J2EE servers are BEA, IBM, and Sun ONE. Apache Geronimo and JBoss are the top open source ones. Tomcat is just Servlets and JSP, not a full J2EE server.
