Pablo,
Apache is recognized as a pretty high performance web server. Its designed
to serve static content very fast and efficiently. Most jsp/servlet
containers cannot match apache's performance in serving static content.
Therefore, it is advantageous for environments that demand higher
performance to use both apache and the container together. This gives you
sort of a best of both worlds environment. Also, don't mix your containers:
Tomcat is a jsp/servlet container, JBoss is an EJB container. Very
different. However, using this strategy you could get a very high
performance J2EE environment by combining free elements: apache + tomcat +
jboss.

Subject: Web Server / JSP-Servlet Container (newbie)
Can someone tell me why in a production application I would need to have a
web
server (Apache, Jetty, etc) with an App Server (JBoss, Tomcat, etc) ?
Let's say I have an app with servlets and JSP and static HTML. Would I need
Tomcat and Apache or can it work just with apache? Remember I need it to be
production quality.
When would I need to combine apache and tomcat? or jetty and jboss?
Thanks,
Pablo
