1 Apache Tomcat is an HTTP server and servlet container supporting Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Micro Focus Tomcat non-transactional support includes servlet generation with J2SE Beans; no transactional support is provided. Tomcat does not support the use of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) or resource adapters (RAs).

Containers testing was done using Servlets 2.5, but later versions are supported.

If you are a developer using the resource adapter, Java ECI interface, or the generated servlet via the imtkmake utility, see Application Server J2EE Implementation Classes for more information about the requirements.
