RE: Tomcat vs. Apache/Tomcat
If you look into the Tomcat archives, this was answered a few days ago. But to recap, some reasons for running Apache with Tomcat: 1. Apache can handle static pages better (plain HTML). 2. Apache has great security and logging capacities. 3. Apache can handle applications in other languages, like Perl, Python, and PHP. This is great if you are using packages, like administration tools for open source databases, like mysql and postgresql. Now there are other reasons, but this is a good start. Now technically, the term Application server usually refers to a Java based server that runs J2EE (static pages, servlets, JSP, and EJB). If you throw in an open source, EJB server (www.jboss.org, www.evidian.com/jonas, www.openejb.org) with Tomcat, then you will have an application server. -Original Message- From: Timothy Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat vs. Apache/Tomcat Can someone explain the advantages of using Tomcat with Apache, as opposed to using Tomcat as both web server and app server?
