RE: Why to use Apace as web server with TOMCAT
Other reasons: Performance: Tomcat is inherently slower than a web server, and therefore we want the static content to be served up by a web server, while tomcat handles the dynamic content. security: A web server like Apache has been around for a lot longer than Tomcat and has far less security holes. Stability: In the event of a Tomcat crash, the entire web site will not come down- only the dynamic content served by Tomcat is unavailable. cheers, Nilesh. -Original Message- From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 11:09 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Why to use Apace as web server with TOMCAT Tomcat's HTTP server is fine for most applications. Reasons why you would want Apache: - can run as a service on port 80 without being root - can use other technologies like CGI, and other languages, in addition to Tomcat - Apache is specifically tuned for static content, Tomcat is tuned for dynamic - Well-established, proven platform - Stable, generally secure - Can use other modules such as mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, or write your own modules - Can load-balance with Tomcat - Can easily handle multiple virtual hosts in an ISP/ASP environment and more.

RE: Apache Tomcat Security
Hi Andrew, Why do you think we need to include PostgreSQL? I think MySQL is more popular than PostgreSQL and is widely used. thanks, Nilesh -Original Message- From: Andres Ledesma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 6:32 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Apache Tomcat Security Include PostgreSQL as you did with mySQL Thanks...

Looking at your email address, you're a Wrox guy. Who's the audience for the book? Are you targeting the developer or the sysadmin?

I'm interested in developing a book on Apache Tomcat security. For a start, here is what i've included as a specification for the book. Can anyone please give me your valuable suggestions/ideas to make it a better book? I'd like to know that exactly the programmer wants so as to make it a great book helpfull to all.
