How do I set up Servlets on Linux?

There are many products which support servlets on Linux. Most of them operate either in a standalone mode (acting as both web server and servlet engine) or as a back-end servlet engine plugging in to an existing web server (like Apache).

The most popular products seem to be:

• Tomcat from Apache Jakarta
• JServ from Apache
• Resin from Caucho
• JRun from Allaire
