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?
