Tomcat-only is a great setup when you have a non-complicated environment. If you can do it, I'd say "go for it". Fewer attack vectors, fewer packages to keep up-to-date, etc. Just remember to use APR+sendFile ;) Or even NIO+sendFile. > The reason we used httpd in the past was "httpd serves static content > better". That reason is no longer valid with a proper configuration. > One other reason that comes to mind is httpd url rewrite support, > assuming tomcat can't help in this area. Any others? tuckey's urlrewrite, though mod_rewrite is much more chainsawy than urlrewrite. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxFGwIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAtCgCfQhy1SRwitWFe/YIcPYLLhp/G l3EAn1Xl0vj98K8+uLCR/XBN5W5fGs7Q =+w6j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
