Why we need apache Tomcat server to deploy any application. or what are the requirements to deploy any code or release?
- by Shank_SCM
I am asking very basic concept as I am new to build and release team. I am working with ant scripts to build and deploy the java code + working with TFS to deploy .net code. So my question is:
What is apache tomcat and why we need it? Can't we deploy any piece of code or any application without apache tomcat? For windows, what framework we need to deploy(or same tomcat can be used for same)?
Please make me understand the basic concept so that I can understand the deploy process or per-requisites of deploying process.
what I know (to deploy)
Just copy the tar file or zip file to any concerned dev environment and restart the server. Thats it.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
