Java中servlet与tomcat的详解

这篇文章主要介绍了servlet和tomcat，小编觉得挺不错的，现在分享给大家，也给大家做个参考。一起跟随小编过来看看吧

Servlet是什么
为了能让Web服务器与Web应用这两个不同的软件系统协作，需要一套标准接口，Servlet就是其中最主要的一个接口。

规定：

Web服务器可以访问任意一个Web应用中实现Servlet接口的类。

Web应用中用于被Web服务器动态调用的程序代码位于Servlet接口的实现类中。

SUN公司（现在被Oracle收购了……）制定了Web应用于Web服务器进行协作的一系列标准Java接口（统称为Java Servlet API）。

SUN公司还对Web服务器发布及运行Web应用的一些细节做了规约。SUN公司把这一系列标准Java接口和规约统称为Servlet规范。

Servlet是一种运行在服务器上的小插件。

Servlet容器是什么

在Servlet规范中，把能够发布和运行JavaWeb应用的Web服务器称为Servlet容器，他的最主要特称是动态执行JavaWeb应用中的Servlet实现类中的程序代码。

Tomcat是什么

Tomcat是Servlet容器，同时也是轻量级的Web服务器。

Apache Server、Microsoft IIS、Apache Tomcat都是Web服务器。

Tomcat作为Web服务器时，主要负责实现HTTP传输等工作。

Tomcat作为Servlet容器时，主要负责解析Request，生成ServletRequest、ServletResponse，将其传给相应的Servlet（调用service( )方法），再将Servlet的相应结果返回。

Tomcat组成结构

Server，代表整个Servlet容器组件，是Tomcat的顶层元素。其中可以包含一到多个Service；

Service，包含一个Engine，以及一到多个Connector；

Connector，代表和客户端程序实际交互的组件，负责接收客户请求，以及向客户返回响应结果；

Engine，处理同一个Service中所有Connector接收到的客户请求；

Host，在Engine中可以包含多个Host，每个Host定义了一个虚拟主机，它可以包含一个到多个Web应用；

Context，一个Host中可以包含多个Context，每个Context代表了运行在虚拟主机上的单个Web应用。

这些字段都在conf/server.xml中配置，下面是一段apache tomcat 6.0.36默认的server.xml：

<?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39; encoding=&#39;utf-8&#39;?>
