Among other things: Control: 1) You can "embed" Tomcat and run your application(s) without depending or stepping on the installed Web server (of course on a different port number). This maybe useful for some type of applications.
2) You can even run tomcat under your own JRE (Control dependencies). My 2 cents.

This applies to java servlet container technology in general rather than JSP pages. Using a servlet container like Tomcat I can run it with the Java SecurityManager and configure the security policy so web applications run within a security sandbox. This makes it less likely that applications deployed will cause a general security problem on the server. Check out SANS, Security Focus, and CERT. Look at how many exploits are done via CGI Perl, PHP, etc. Regards, Glenn Bogesdorfer, Dan wrote: > I've been lurking for a few weeks and wanted to get some inputt from you > guys/girls.
