We just installed Tomcat 4 on 2 Red Hat servers, and we have a BigIP load balancer in front of them. In troubleshooting an issue, the guy working with our BigIP said that when he was running Apache on either of the Linux servers, the load balancer could tell that the http service was running, but when Tomcat was running, it didn't know what to check for on a service level, so in the end, they had to set it up to just do a TCP check to see if the port was open.
He says this isn't ideal since the port being open doesn't mean the service is up (meaning Tomcat). He thinks that Tomcat should start up the http service (I guess he means httpd) when it starts--that maybe I just need to look around in Tomcat's configuration for the place to set this, but I'm not so sure that this is the case. In a nutshell: is Tomcat supposed to start up the http service or something similar to what BigIP is looking for from Apache?
