Did Bruce Tate write this?
I was researching the history of Java - or better the history of my Java development. After some playing around with applets my Java development history started in a commercial project with the Java Web Server and servlets. And I found this:
In his book, Bruce says: “In the halls of Netscape, server-side Java emerged. Servlets (a term originally coined by O’Reilly) made server-driven Internet applications available to application developers. Sun capitalized on this movement quickly with a standard, and an open source implementation of a servlet engine called Tomcat.”
Did Bruce really write this completly wrong view of servlet history in “Beyond Java”?
Update: Bruce does presentations too.
I’d like to have closures too. And each. And all. And, well you get it.

The first commercial server was JavaWebServer (about 400 $). I used it in my first servlet project. JWDK was the development environment from Sun. I think Sun donated JWDK to apache -> this was the beginning of Tomcat.
