Tomcat

Tomcat is an open source servlet container made by the Apache folks and distributed under the Apache license. It is currently in its 6.x release.

You run servlets and JSP pages with Tomcat.

Tomcat can also function nicely as a stand-alone web server (like the Apache httpd web server). By default, it listens to port 8080 rather than 80 (which is customary for httpd).
