Standalone Tomcat Appliance

Tomcat is a servlet container that implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run in. Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations.

This appliance configures Tomcat as a standalone application server (I.e., without an external web server). A Tomcat on Apache Appliance is also available for integrations requiring a fully-featured web server.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• SSL support out of the box.
• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications (e.g., password recovery).
• Includes TurnKey web control panel (convenience).
• Tomcat and Java configurations:
  • Configured Tomcat admin/manager roles and admin user.
  • Configured Tomcat HTTP connector to bind to port 80 (default: 8180).
  • Configured SSL port to bind to port 443 (default: 8443).
  • Disabled AJP connector on port 8009 (security).
  • Tomcat and Java environment variables configuration system wide.
