I've read the FAQ on the topic of whether to go through Apache or just use Tomcat stand-alone and frankly, it seemed inconclusive. Then I did a search and it seemed the general consensus was to use Tomcat stand-alone for development enviroments and Apache for production.
Really, that's all I went by. I figured using Apache, Tomcat and mod_jk was the more robust solution and better suited for the long haul. More and more features will likely be added to this site so I need to be forward thinking. --- Parsons Technical Services <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unless you have a reason, why not let Tomcat do it > all? > > Doug > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "footh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 5:13 PM > Subject: Apache, Tomcat and mod_jk2 - question about > layout > > > > After going through all the documentation, I have > > gotten mod_jk2 to forward jsp requests to Tomcat. > > However, I have a question about the layout... > > > > Essentially, my site will be .html pages with some > > occasional .jsp pages (it will likely change in > the > > future to all .jsp/servlets, but for now that's > the > > way it is).
