Servlet Container

In order to host Servlets, you will need to install and run a Servlet container. There are many Servlet Containers available.

You can see lists and comparisons of Servlet containers at

(Search for "Yes" in the Servlet Feature column) and

(Search for a version number in the Servlet Spec column)

If you haven't already chosen a Servlet Container, Veryant has tested and recommends Apache Tomcat 7.

The Apache Tomcat main page is http://tomcat.apache.org/
