Apache Portable Runtime ?

I am running a standalone tomcat 6.0.18 on a centOS 5.3 system. Is it a good idea to install the Apache Portable Runtime? Would I see performance increase? And, are there any drawbacks/cons to doing so? Thanks for any advice you might have on this - John -- View this message in context:

Re: Apache Portable Runtime ?

I wanted to add a little clarity to my question: I am not using SSL or serving any significant amount of static content - just good ol fashioned Jsp/Jstl's with a standalone tomcat (no Apache). A very svelt and simple web app that I am designing for performance. Given that, is it still a

Which listeners required in server.xml?

Re: How to configure Access logs to ignore images

Thanks Tim. Your bonus point approach is quite slick and tidy..I am quite tempted to go that route. Of course that now begs me to overthink this and wonder if there is any performance difference between having the web.xml filter-mapping do the logic or embedding that logic in the filter

How to configure Access logs to ignore images

I have set up an Access Log in Tomcat 6. Can someone tell me how to limit access logging to only .jsp's and .html pages? I have read numerous posts and it is amazing how many responses there are to similiar questions that all point to the 'condition' parameter documentation...which I have

RE: How to configure Access logs to ignore images

Thanks for your help. I do understand now the concept. I am quite surprised however how much code it actually took. Here is my filter configuration that is working correctly. This configuration basically filters out everything I don't want in my access logs, including a couple of redundant

Re: Deploy Tomcat Standalone - good idea or not?

It took me quite a while but I finally got a tomcat startup script working using jsvc to start as a tomcat user running on port 80. Are there any drawbacks/cons to this method as opposed to NOT using jsvc and instead running tomcat on 8080 and having the firewall redirect to this port? Does

Deploy Tomcat Standalone - good idea or not?

I am going to be deploying a webapp on CentOS (Spring/Hibernate/Tomcat) that is JSP based and has hardly any static content..I am planning to start out with 1 tomcat server and 1 db server. I think that I do not need an apache front end and can simply run tomcat standalone. Is this a bad idea?

Tomcat better on single or multi core?

Is it possible to move Tomcat logfiles?

I am setting up a CentOS 5 server running tomcat and wanted to know whether the best practice is to leave the Tomcat logfiles in their default location: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/logs or whether I should place them in another directory like /var/log/tomcat. Is this possible, and/or

Re: setup default webapp in tomcat 6 and apache

I appreciate your great advice, and I will look into that. However, I fear that my confusion is even more basic - as I have not set up tomcat before. How should I set up my webApp so that when I call http://localhost/index.jsp in my browser tomcat serves up the index.jsp from my webApp dir:

Re: setup default webapp in tomcat 6 and apache

Let me try to be more clear: Lets forget about Apache, that is not the issue: Assuming tomcat is running standalone on port 80, how do I set it up so that when I call http://localhost/index.jsp Tomcat defaults to serving my custom app located at: C:/myApp/web/index.jsp as opposed to what it is

tomcat 6 apache 2.2 jk connector: auto config?

I am trying to figure out the best way to configure tomcat 6 to work under apache2.2 running on XP. I have seen a way to 'auto configure' the jk connector, and another way to manually configure it in the httpd.conf file. It seems the auto configure is easier, but are there important advantages
