Hello QM, I have my server running Apache+Tomcat+GIS server+Oracle+Access DBs (they are connected trough GIS server for different projects) for almost one year, I've explained my professional specification to Atishay Kumar. My objective its to make work one or three applications and to make Tomcat to serve jsp pages with Apache. But it was really hard to make it work together as I say before. I read the Java docs - the thing that I'm not Java programmer, so its more then enough for me to make software work as official documentation says. If I have problems with balancers, filters, connectors or other - I'm writing to support, because they are designers, not I am. The point is I'm really TOMCAT USER, not developer, not Java programmer, so if its possible to use Tomcat with other servers or for different purposes, its would be great to have this information in documentation. I want to admit that Apache and Tomcat docs are perfect and pretty clear, but for example if I want to start learn jsp and install Tomcat on my computer that already have Apache - its logically that I want to know how they should work together, also I want to start from basics, not just from precompiled jsps. You can say that Tomcat wasnt designed for learning purposes - I agree, but if its possible somehow to give basic knowledge - it would be great. At last - I've started to learn about Tomcat when I was need it for work, now I'm starting to learn Java and jsp, so not every person here starts from java programmer and then continues as Tomcat admin.
Thanks.
