Very hard to figure out, and I haven't been able to get tomcat to do what I need... Specifically, we want our existing web site to handle JSP pages. With tomcat installed, it seems that the only way to do this is move the entire web site to the tomcat server--i.e.: you can have JSP, but only if tomcat is the server for the entire web site. You can't, as far as I have been able to determine, simply have tomcat execute JSPs within an existing Apache web site. Also, we want to execute servlets within the Apache web site. We have a mix of html, phtml and JSP code, and now we are adding servlets. Again, the servlets seem to require the entire tomcat server setup--which means, we might as well turn off Apache. This is not acceptable for us... Now, I suspect that there is a way to make this work, but I've just spent an entire long weekend (three days) trying to make tomcat execute a JSP within our Apache site, and haven't been able to do it. All I can do is set up separate web sites (within the tomcat web server directories) and execute them there... Bottom line is that tomcat still runs as a completely separate server. When Apache sees a URL that says "something to do with Java" it hands that URL off to tomcat... and tomcat proceeds to search its internal web configuration for the relevant pages. Hopefully this will be fixed--judging by what I've seen on the Jakarta site, the long-term plan is to merge the functionality of these two products. But for now, think of them as separate products that hand things back and forth, which (at least for our purposes) often isn't going to get you where you need to be... -- Zacharias J.
