Tomcat (or something like it) is the web server.

Yes, you need a Java EE-conformant server to run servlets. To create them you 
only need the right JARs.

But those aren't "web apps".

And such an application is not normally called a "web app". The term "web 
app[lication]", as Arne says, is the conventional nomenclature for an 
application running in a web-based application server such as Tomcat or Glassfish.

If you aren't familiar with Java EE, here are some good references to get you 
started:
