Tomcat is excellent at serving up dynamic content (i.e. servlets) and does a
pretty good job at serving up static content (i.e. HTML, GIF, JPG, etc).
However, if you are expecting a high level of simultaneous hits (where "high
level" varies according to the performance of your hardware), using Apache
with Tomcat offloads all requests for static content from Tomcat to Apache,
which frees up Tomcat's resources to respond only to dynamic requests.
Because each server configuration is unique, you should take some time to
stress test your Tomcat configuration and learn what its performance
limitations are. Another thread recently recommended JMeter for such a
task. Let me also add Microsoft's WAS (not WCAT) to the list. Check it out
at http://homer.rte.microsoft.com/. Of course, it's Win32 only.
Good luck,
Ben
