Ubuntu 10.10 - Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat is a web container that allows you to serve Java Servlets and JSP (Java Server Pages) web applications.
The Tomcat 6.0 packages in Ubuntu support two different ways of running Tomcat. You can install them as a classic unique system-wide instance, that will be started at boot time will run as the tomcat6 unpriviledged user. But you can also deploy private instances that will run with your own user rights, and that you should start and stop by yourself. This second way is particularly useful in a development server context where multiple users need to test on their own private Tomcat instances.
