Tomcat is a servlet container that can provide a small number of other
services directly (such as JDBC DataSources and JavaMail Sessions). It
is also a respectable HTTP server which can also handle AJP (as a
proxy for HTTP) and will soon be able to accept WebSocket and (if I
understand the chatter properly) SPDY connections.

If you need any other J2EE services of top of that (e.g. JMS, EJB,
etc.) then you'll have to make arrangements yourself. There /are/
packages out there that can provide those services for you (e.g.
OpenJMS and OpenEJB).

If you don't want to roll your own service bundles, you may want to go
with something like Glassfish.
