If you were running apache tomcat server in your web server then most probably you face some problem on serving some of your servlet and jsp pages. One of the problems I encounter before with tomcat server is it’s hard to install. Especially if you are not an expert user in Linux operating system.

Tomcat server can run servlet and jsp pages. Because of this you are not limited on using a static HTML pages. It allows your user to execute some code without the intervention of a webmaster. It can also run behind apache server serving HTML pages while tomcat is serving dynamic pages.

Tomcat in traditional approach is heavyweight in nature and takes a lot of your resources compare to other application running on your server.
