www.apache.org.PRPC can be hosted by the Tomcat servlet container. Tomcat is an open source product of the Jakarta Project, part of the Apache Software Foundation at www.apache.org.
If you choose to use Tomcat as your servlet container, install Tomcat before installing PRPC. Alternatively, you can choose to install PRPC as a Web application within a Web application server, such as the IBM WebSphere Application Server or the WebLogic Portal from Oracle.
Conventionally, browser connections to Tomcat-based PRPC servlets use TCP/IP port 8080 or 8081.
Tomcat uses three XML files (web.xml, server.xml, and tomcat-users.xml) to control access to servlets.
For details on Tomcat versions and options, consult the Platform Support Guide document, available from the PDN.
