# About the Corda Server servlet

This topic describes the Corda Server servlet shipped with the Discovery Framework.

The Corda Server servlet is a Java servlet version of the Corda Server. It is designed to run on, and be accessed through, Java-enabled application servers such as Tomcat and WAS. Because it is packaged as a servlet, you do not need to run this version of the Corda Server as a separate process over a separate server port.

For details on how the Corda Server servlet is packaged, see the Corda documentation.

Note: If you choose to deploy Corda as a server, rather than the recommended approach of deploying Corda as a servlet in an existing application server, see the Corda installation instructions in the Endeca Platform Services Installation Guide.
Important: Deploying the Corda servlet on the same Tomcat server as the Discovery Framework is intended for development purposes only. You should install Corda on a separate application server (or as a standalone server) for production use. If you purchased the Corda charting module (also known as the Advanced Visualization for Java and .NET module), your license entitles you to run a single production instance of the Corda server (whether deployed as a servlet or as a standalone server).
