Since Apache will merely forward the servlet requests to Tomcat, I see no reason for
incorporating
Apache into your environment.
I will say this though, if security configuration is something that your are
interested in, you
will find that Apache is more flexible in its configuration than Tomcat as a
standalone server.
You might want to consider your use of images as well. I believe Apache will work more
efficiently
than Tomcat, if you serve up many images.

Subject: Re: Do I need apache for servlet-only use?
Actually, I am defining the production environment, and the design uses servlets to
provide
scalability and redirection capabilities. So, if I am using servlets with no static
web pages in my
production envrionment, is there any benefit or added capabilities by using Apache or
will Tomcat
standalone provide all of the flexibility and functionality I need?
Thanks
