Programming Guides : Servlets & CGI : Server Configuration

Server Configuration
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
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_servers
(Search for "Yes" in the Servlet Feature column) and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_application_servers
(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/
Here are some example steps to download and install Tomcat 7 on Windows:
NOTE - To avoid problems, uninstall earlier versions of the Tomcat service before installing Tomcat 7
