Justyna, This addresses an issue we have been discussing up here at work. Is the "rule of thumb" always "the number of static pages vs the number of dynamic pages" in determining whether you need to run a JSP/Servlet server as a stand alone server, or in conjunction with an HTML server, such as Apache or IIS? What weight in the decision process do you give the "volume" or "number of hits" you expect your web site to generate in making your decision regarding servers? And where do security considerations play into the decision making process regarding using a stand alone JSP server vs an HTML and JSP server together (such as Apache + Tomcat), or do they play in at all?
My thanks in advance to anyone with additional advice on this topic. Also, if anyone has any good references/sites that discuss this topic in general, I would be interested in them.

Is it going to be large volume with many static pages and a couple of dynamic pages? Then you should use Apache + Tomcat. Now, if your server isn't going to be large volume or has mostly dynamic pages then you should really consider running Tomcat standalone. You dynamic pages would not be relayed through Apache but be served directly by Tomcat. It is much easier to configure Tomcat standalone than configure two servers and the connector between them. As for documentation, I would look at the apache site for both products: http://www.apache.org http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat Justy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Idusogie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 3:06 PM Subject: Platform choice advice for deploying a website > Hello Folks: > > I need your advice on the best approach due to budgetry constraints. > I'm considering learning Linux to deploy my website using apache as my > web server and tomcat as the servlet container.
