tomcat8.032位/64位官方版是Apache 軟件基金會(Apache Software Foundation)的Jakarta 項目中的一個核心項目,由Apache、Sun 和其他一些公司及個人共同開發(fā)而成。由于有了Sun 的參與和支持,最新的Servlet 和JSP 規(guī)范總是能在Tomcat 中得到體現(xiàn),Tomcat 7 支持最新的Servlet和JSP規(guī)范。因為Tomcat 技術先進、性能穩(wěn)定,而且免費,因而深受Java 愛好者的喜愛并得到了部分軟件開發(fā)商的認可,成為目前比較流行的Web 應用服務器,主要適用于任何32位和64位系統(tǒng)。
Apache Tomcat發(fā)布8.0.9版本,同時這個版本也是8.0的第一個stable版本。Tomcat 8需要至少JDK7以上。
值得注意的更新如下:
Support for Java Servlet 3.1, JavaServer Pages 2.3, Java Unified Expression Language 3.0 and Java WebSocket 1.0.
The default connector implementation is now the Java non-blocking implementation (NIO) for both HTTP and AJP.
A new resources implementation that replaces Aliases, VirtualLoader, VirtualDirContext, JAR resources and external repositories with a single, consistent approach for configuring additional web application resources. The new resources implementation can also be used to implement overlays (using a master WAR as the basis for multiple web applications that each have their own customizations).
Apache Tomcat 8.0.9 包括了 8.0.8 版本的 bug 修復和大量改進,相對于 8.0.8 版本:
Start to move towards RFC6265 for cookie handling
Better error handling when the error occurs after the response has been committed
Various Jasper improvements to make it easier for other containers (e.g. Jetty) to consume
