What are the benefits of having Apache if you don't use it for all you can (in cases where you can)? I view Apache/Tomcat combo as a single web application server and I want each part to do what they can do best. >From my own performance benchmarks, I can tell that it takes Tomcat significantly longer to do anything as compared to Apache. Which should not be view as a fault of Tomcat at all.

I think I understand a bit better where you're coming from. I have things like this in my jk.conf: ------------------ JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*.vm ajp13 ------------------ Which makes only files with *.jsp and *.vm extensions Tomcat's URI space. So, it is Apache that decides first what should go to Tomcat at all, and to do that it uses it's own machinery (i.e. DirectoryIndex). What Tomcat then does with that URI is its own business. Imagine a load balancing scenario where Apache/Tomcat pairs are clustered and all files a local. All of the above would still make perfect sense. > The directory browsing in either case should go through TC and not > through mod_autoindex. Again, I'm not sure why would that be a must for all cases. I don't want Java engaged if C does can do the job and faster.
