Installing Tomcat 7 is dead-easy and configuring Tomcat as Server in NetBeans to allow direct (re)deployment of web applications from within NetBeans is just as easy. Most notably, it supports version 3.0 of the Servlet API (application programming interface) and version 2.2 of JavaServer Pages, both part of the recently ratified JEE 6. While not a full application server, Tomcat implements the functionality described in the Java Enterprise Edition Web profile specifications.

Tomcat 7 is a Servlet Container – a fairly light weight container, very convenient for development and testing.
