Easy Apache tomcat installation

By seing and just speaking about the application scares me but this is the solution, if i want to run a java application on a Linux Server. Installation on the Windows machine is much easier but as the project mature it is much easier installing in linux by just downloading two packages:

The First is the JDK from SUN:
JDK5

and Apache Tomcat from APACHE.org:

tomcat-apache-v5

Instructions are simple:

1. Install the JDK with the provided instruction from SUN.
2. Execute the command #export JAVA_HOME=/location/where/the/jdk/is/installed
3. Install the apache-tomcat with the guidance of RUNNING.txt from the extracted binary of downloaded Apache-Tomcat.

Then you are done.

*Apache-Tomcat is not really installed it is extracted then executed by the command:
/location/of/apache/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

If you want to customize the server further you can do it with the help of the documentation on the apache-tomcat site.
