Connecting Tomcat Server in Eclipse IDE

1) The document describes how to configure Tomcat server in Eclipse IDE and create a simple servlet program. 2) It involves defining a new Tomcat server in Eclipse, configuring the server location and JRE, and then creating a dynamic web project with a servlet class that extends HttpServlet and overrides the doGet method. 3) The servlet mapping is then configured in the web.xml file by adding servlet and servlet-mapping entries for the servlet class, allowing it to be accessed at a URL and displaying output to the browser.
