I believe that the built in http server is good enough in some cases yes. Likewise resin's. for an intra net or predictable amount of users would work fine.

The advantages of load balancing the static content from the java stuff takes some work out of catalina's hands but also means with apache in the middle you can load balance between containers.

This article explains things better than me

Hi, As always, consider using tomcat standalone for all your traffic, static and dynamic.


This is the third time I have heard this piece of advice recently. When I started off with Tomcat back in the 3.x days the recommendation was always to run Tomcat for the dynamic servlet/jsp stuff and a "real" web server (Apache/IIS) for the static content.


Are we now saying that Tomcat is as good a web server for static content as is Apache?
