Re: (newbie q) Connector vs running standalone Tomcat as root

[Diego Algorta Casamayou]

The easier way is just leave tomcat listening on 8080 and add a port 
redirection rule using netfilter.

- You just have to redirect incoming conections on port 80 to port 8080.
- Add proxyPort="80" on the Connector tag in server.xml.
Voila!
You're done.

I'd like to hear people's opinions on the best way to have Tomcat 
accessible via standard ports (80 and 443).

As I understand it, under Linux (and other unixes), ports < 1000 must 
be run as root.  I've also read that there are some difficulties 
running Tomcat as root.  I gather that the alternative is to run 
Tomcat via a connector from Apache.

I have no particular need to run Apache - nearly everything on the 
site I'm putting together requires Tomcat.  Is running Tomcat as a 
root process really impossible and/or problematic (under Linux)?  Are 
there any other downsides to running Tomcat as a standalone server?

Thanks
