A web container (also known as a servlet container;[1] and compare "webcontainer"[2]) is the component of a web server that interacts with Jakarta Servlets. A web container is responsible for managing the lifecycle of servlets, mapping a URL to a particular servlet and ensuring that the URL requester has the correct access-rights. A web container handles requests to servlets, Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) files, and other types of files that include server-side code. The Web container creates servlet instances, loads and unloads servlets, creates and manages request and response objects, and performs other servlet-management tasks. A web container implements the web component contract of the Jakarta EE architecture. This architecture specifies a runtime environment for additional web components, including security, concurrency, lifecycle management, transaction, deployment, and other services.
List of Servlet containers
The following is a list of applications which implement the Jakarta Servlet specification from Eclipse Foundation, divided depending on whether they are directly sold or not.
Open source Web containers
- Apache Tomcat (formerly Jakarta Tomcat) is an open source web container available under the Apache Software License.
- Apache Tomcat 6 and above are operable as general application container (prior versions were web containers only)
- Apache Geronimo is a full Java EE 6 implementation by Apache Software Foundation.
- Enhydra, from Lutris Technologies.
- GlassFish from Eclipse Foundation (an application server, but includes a web container).
- Jaminid contains a higher abstraction than servlets.
- Jetty, from the Eclipse Foundation. Also supports SPDY and WebSocket protocols.
- Payara is another application server, derived from Glassfish.
- Winstone supports specification v2.5 as of 0.9, has a focus on minimal configuration and the ability to strip the container down to only what you need.
- Tiny Java Web Server (TJWS) 2.5 Tiny Java Web Server, small footprint, modular design.
- Virgo from Eclipse Foundation provides modular, OSGi based web containers implemented using embedded Tomcat and Jetty. Virgo is available under the Eclipse Public License.
- WildFly (formerly JBoss Application Server) is a full Java EE implementation by Red Hat, division JBoss.
Commercial Web containers
- iPlanet Web Server, from Oracle.
- JBoss Enterprise Application Platform from Red Hat, division JBoss is subscription-based/open-source Jakarta EE-based application server.
- JRun, from Adobe Systems (formerly developed by Allaire Corporation).
- WebLogic Application Server, from Oracle Corporation (formerly developed by BEA Systems).
- Orion Application Server, from IronFlare.
- Resin Pro, from Caucho Technology.
- ServletExec, from New Atlanta Communications.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server.
- SAP NetWeaver.
- tc Server, from SpringSource Inc.
