This article mainly introduces what are the differences between apache and tomcat, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

What's the difference between apache and tomcat?

What they have in common:

1. Both are developed by the apache organization

2. Both of them have the function of HTTP service

3. Both are free

Differences:

1. Apache supports static pages, while tomcat supports dynamic pages, such as servlet.

2. Apache is a web server (static parsing, such as HTML), and Tomcat is an application (java) server (dynamic parsing, such as jsp,asp,php,cgi). It is just a servlet (jsp is also translated into servlet) container, which can be considered as an extension of apache, but can be run independently of apache.

3. Apache is implemented in C language and supports various features and modules to expand core functions; Tomcat is written by Java and better supports Servlet and JSP.

Association:

1) Apache is an ordinary server, which only supports html, that is, ordinary web pages. You can support php through plug-ins and connect with Tomcat (Apache connects to Tomcat one-way, that is, you can access Tomcat resources through Apache, and vice versa).

2) Apache only supports static pages, but dynamic pages like Jsp need to be handled by Tomcat.

3) Integrated use of Apache and Tomcat:

If the client requests a static page, only the Apache server is required to respond to the request

If the client requests a dynamic page, the Tomcat server responds to the request. The parsed JSP and other web page codes are parsed and sent back to the Apache server, and then returned to the browser through Apache.

This is because jsp interprets the code on the server side, Tomcat only does dynamic code parsing, and Apache sends back the parsed static code. Apache+Tomcat integration can reduce the service overhead of Tomcat.

4) Apache and Tomcat are independent and can be integrated on the same server.

Examples of images:

Apache is a car, can hold some things such as html, etc., but can not hold water, to hold water must have a container (bucket), and this bucket can not be placed on the truck, then this bucket is TOMCAT.

Apache: it is implemented in C language and is specially used to provide HTTP services.

Features: simple, fast, stable performance, configurable (proxy)

1. It is mainly used to parse static text with high performance, focusing on HTTP service.

2. Support static pages (HTML), but not dynamic requests such as CGI, Servlet/JSP, PHP, ASP, etc.

3. It has strong expansibility, it can support PHP through plug-ins, and it can also connect with Tomcat through one-way Apache.

4. Apache is the number one Web server in the world.

Tomcat: a JSP server (Servlet container) developed by Java that conforms to JavaEE's Servlet specification and is an extension of Apache.

Features: free Java application server

1. Mainly used for parsing JSP/Servlet, focusing on Servlet engine

2. Static pages are supported, but the efficiency is not as high as Apache; Servlet and JSP requests are supported

3. Tomcat itself has a built-in HTTP server to support static content, which can be integrated with Apache through Tomcat's configuration management tools.

These are all the differences between apache and tomcat. Thank you for reading! Hope to share the content to help you, more related knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
