Apache Tomcat software has been developed as an open source implementation which covers Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket technologies, where Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket specifications are developed under Java Community Process Apache Tomcat is designed in an open environment which was published under version 2 of Apache License.
Currently, Apache Tomcat is in its version 8.5 which offers us certain advantages at the development and implementation level..
When using Apache Tomcat 8.5 we must consider the following directories:
/ bin
Refers to startup, shutdown and other Apache scripts. The * .sh files (for Unix systems) are functional duplicates of the * .bat files (for Windows systems).
/ conf
Indicates the Apache Tomcat related configuration and DTD files. The most important file here is server.xml which is the main configuration file for the container.
/ logs
They are the Apache Tomcat log files.
/ webapps
This directory is where our webapps will go.
