I am considering using Tomcat alone as my HTTP server as well as my servlet

of Tomcat for this and Tomcat is just the servlet container only.
Is there any reason why I should not use just Tomcat alone for this. I'm
actually using JBOSS with Tomcat, but Tomcat still handles the HTTP
requests. I have no static pages on my site.
Seems like a hassle to configure a separate server (Apache HTTP) when I
don't have to.
In case you don't need loadbalacing, you can live without Apache in that
scenario.
Also, are there any difficulties configuring Tomcat with SSL?
It's not more difficult than using Apache. I would say it's even easier
to setup Tomcat than Apache for SSL.
But note: You should NOT use Tomcat+SSL, if you expect high HTTPS load.
Standard Java&SSL is not too fast. In my load tests Apache/Tomcat is
much faster for HTTPS than standalone Tomcat HTTPS, but it doesn't make
a difference for HTTP (at least as long as you also have dynamic content).
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
