Apache

The Apache project was originally created to support the development of the Apache Web server. Apache got its name from the fact that it started as a series of patches to the original Cern Web server. The name was a play on words on “a patchy” Web server. Apache is a proven product and has been the most widely used Web server on the Internet for several years, with more sites running.Apache than all other Web servers combined.

Apache has also become an umbrella for a large number of open source projects that share the Apache license. Often these projects are technology leaders, proving technologies before they are standardized. The Apache project has had a large impact on the open source Java community, initially with the jServ servlet container and now through the Jakarta project. There is more than just one major project under the Apache umbrella that has an impact on Java; we discuss these in the following sections.
