Apache Tomcat

Tomcat vs WildFly: which is better for enterprise Java apps?

Answer:

Tomcat wins for lightweight servlet-based web apps and REST services, while WildFly is the better fit once an application needs container-managed EJBs, distributed transactions, or JMS messaging out of the box. Tomcat 11.0.x implements Jakarta Servlet 6.1, JSP 4.0, EL 6.0, and WebSocket 2.2, and requires Java 17 or later. WildFly's 2026 release line (WildFly 40 and 41) brings Jakarta EE 11 support across the full platform, not just the web tier.
