Hi, we are currently planning a setup for a new application and decided to use Apache as Web Server and Tomcat as JSP/Servlet Engine. This is -so far- a pretty common way I guess. We now think about the environment to build up, because it has to be an application running SSL. We think about the following option: Apache will serve as a webserver inside a firewall. It will then forward requests to Tomcat which runs on a separate machine behind the firewall. QUESTION 1: Does anyone have experience with that ? QUESTION 2: If we think about not separating Apache and Tomcat onto two machines, what are the PROs and CONs for - SSL via Apache (and forwarding requests to tomcat !?) - SSL via Tomcat QUESTION 3: Does anyone have major experience with the one or the other way ? ... Is the installation of the apache ssl module as easy as the documentation says ? ... ... Which version of tomcat do you suggest ? Thanks for your answers !
