Tomcat History

Tomcat is a reference implementation of JSP and servlet specification.

Tomcat was conceived by James Davidson in late 1998 as the core of the JavaServer Web Development Kit.  Tomcat was donated by then SUN Microsystems to Apache.  Apache discontinued the upgrading of JServ, a free servlet container, to support the new servlet 2.1 standard and adopted Tomcat.  Tomcat was released as 3.0 a sa successor to JSWDK 2.1.
