RE: Is Tomcat just an add-on?

[Turner, John]

Only if you leave the HTTP Connector on port 8080 enabled in server.xml.  If
you're using Tomcat with a web server, you comment out the HTTP connector on
port 8080 portion of server.xml (in production, anyway).

RE: Is Tomcat just an add-on?

[Justin Ruthenbeck]

Let's try saying this a different way...

Tomcat and Apache are completely separate servers and running one, the 
other, or both does not affect how the other operates independently.  If 
you configure Tomcat to receive requests from Apache, then you are opening 
an additional port (8009 by default) for Tomcat to listen on.  Port 8080 is 
still open and still listening for http requests (again, by default) and so 
Tomcat can still serve anything deployed on it from that port.  Tomcat just 
sits there and does what it's told.  If it's told to get a gif, it does 
it.  If it's told to invoke a servlet, it does it.  It is a server that 
serves stuff up ... just happens that requests generally come over the 
web.  This makes it a "webserver".  Simply, Tomcat is a server that serves 
web content (there is not, as you mentioned, a "webserver that comes with 
Tomcat").

In GENERAL, if you're proxying to Tomcat from Apache, then you restrict 
access to port 8080.  This centralizes security and assures that all 
requests come from Apache.  Administrators appreciate this.  ;)

Incidently, if you want to disable port 8080, remove the  in the 
server.xml that specifies the HttpConnector on that port.

justin

RE: Is Tomcat just an add-on?

[TOMITA_ALEX_NONLILLY]

but when Tomcat is integrated with Apache, what happens with the webserver 
that comes with Tomcat???  Are ports 80 and 8080 working when both of 
them are integrated???...

Ben,

It's both, depending on how you configure it.  It's pretty efficient
standalone, or you can integrate with a web server to serve static content
if you've got high traffic levels.

Its a web server. You can use Tomcat as your web server. Based on your 
needs, you can also decide to use Tomcat + Another Web Server (ex; Apache)
