java socket server

[blinkerton]

Hi there.
I'm looking for a tip or tutorial on setting up a java server environment on my machine but find nothing that really indicates where I should start. Will Tomcat suffice for backend web services? Trying to build a socket server.

Thanks.

your question is rather confusing...as far as tomcat is concerned, its good for almost everything that you want to do with a web server.
What exactly you want to do with this socket server
