JavaSercer Pages 4.2 Installing the Tomcat Server You can download the Tomcat Server either in binary format or as source code that you compile yourself. If you’re primarily interested in learning about JSP, I recommend that you use the binary download to run the examples in this java blog and develop your own applications. If you’re a Java programmer and interested in seeing how Tomcat is implemented, feel free to download the source and take a look at the internals. The binary distribution is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html On this page you find three types of builds: Release builds Milestone builds Nightly builds Release builds are stable releases that have been tested extensively and verified to comply with the servlet and JSP specifications. Milestone builds are created as intermediary steps towards a release build. They often contain new features that are not yet fully tested, but are generally known to work. A nightly build, however, may be very unstable. It’s actually a snapshot of the latest source code and may have been tested only by the person who made the latest change. You should use a nightly build only if you’re involved in the development of Tomcat. You should download the latest release build. All examples in this java blog were developed and tested using the 3.2 (Beta 3) version, but any release later than 3.2 should work fine as well. When you click on the link for the latest release build and select the bin directory, you see a list of archive files in different formats, similar to Figure 4.1. Figure 4.1.
