is there a web analytics framework?

Question

Hi, is there a free framework which I can use to develop a web analytics tool?

We want to know how many people visit our site, which pages of our sites is the Most Popular and etc.

like this: http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/tour.html

Obviously, we do not need to analytize other sites but only our own site.

BTW, we use tomcat as the servlet container.

Does these analytics tool work based on the server log?

It's not based on Java/Servlets, but if you can run PHP on your Tomcat you might want to have a look at Piwik (Demo) which can be customized using plugins. Their plugin architecture is quite good and well documented.
