RE: Help:What type of a configuration Tomcat is more preferable to industrial use

[Alistair Hopkins]

1/ Apache is faster & better when serving static content such as images 2/ You get more error handling ability with apache (ie, when tomcat goes down for releases, etc, Apache gets a 500 error and can display a polite notice rather than nasty error pages) 3/ You get all the other stuff that apache does: userdir, modspeling, cgi, ssi etc etc etc 4/ https.  i don't know if any certificate signing authorities do certs for java/tomcat (probably) but its very easy for mod_ssl or apache-ssl 5/ you can confuse your colleagues even more with arcane configurations 6/ you can (theoretically) do sticky load balancing with mod_jk across multiple tomcat instances -----Original Message----- From: Valeriy Molyakov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Help:What type of a configuration Tomcat is more preferable to industrial use Whether there is some more advantage except stability ? For example :     Speed of service     Service of a lot of the clients     Security What sense of use of the www-server(Apache), if I use only JSP and Servlets ?
