I am trying to plan how I might manage my complete web site(s) as I further 
integrate tapestry into what I am doing.   I am using tomcat (4.1) as the 
servlet container, apache2 as the static content provider (the two are linked 
via jk_mod).

One area that I don't yet know how to address is integration of other 
applications that are totally served by apache.  That is mainly mailman and 
gallery.

One idea is to manage the border and navigation via tapestry and render an 
<iframe> to cause the browser to load the other application directly in the 
content area.  The downside of this is complex url management to ensure 
apache can still source the correct stuff, even though the root context is 
likely to be tomcat/tapestry - and lack of information back to the navigation 
class in tapestry about exactly where in the subframe the user has navigated 
himself to.

On possible alternative is to set up the other applications to be serviced by 
apache on another (firewalled off) port on localhost, and serve all external 
requests directly by tomcat/tapestry. In this case, I could ensure 3rd party 
content is rendered by tapestry by reading the response from an external url 
passing it directly through.  I would need a component that did that.

Anyone done anything similar who could help? or point me in the right 
direction?
