Option¶

Parameters	Alternate Parameters	Options	Comments

Benefits¶

Its fairly extensible with modules to run things like php, python, etc.
It comforts with Ubuntu and cent OS.
Non case sensitivity is a highlighted advantage.
Tomcat is the application layer where most of the logic processing happens.
Finally there would be a database layer that tomcat talks to.
