2.7. The Web Container - Tomcat
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform comes with Tomcat as the default web container. The embedded Tomcat service is found in the deploy/jboss-web.deployer
directory. All the necessary jar files needed by Tomcat can be found in there, as well as a web.xml
file which provides a default configuration set for web applications.
You shouldn’t need to modify any of this other than for advanced use. If you’ve used Tomcat before as a stand-alone server you should be aware that things are a bit different when using the embedded service. JBoss is in charge and you shouldn’t need to access the Tomcat directory at all. Web applications are deployed by putting them in the JBoss deploy
directory and logging output from Tomcat can be found in the JBoss log
directory.
