beginner level question on JSP and tomcat

[gshenai]

Hello,

I am a beginner of JSP and tomcat. If I have to access the JSP file
over the web, do I need a webserver (in addition to TOMCAT) or TOMCAT
itself a web server??

Thanks,
Girish

Tomcat is both a servlet container and a webserver. It's commonly
paired with Apache since Apache is so efficient at serving up
static content. But it doesn't have to be.
Look for the Http10Connector element in your conf/server.xml file.
The port attribute specifies what port it listens on.
