Matter of personal choice. Many would say a linux server would be more secure/stable but it really depends on what you're more comfortable maintaining, your budget, and client preferences in my opinion. > 2. Should I plug Tomcat into Apache web-server or is the build-in > web-server for Tomcat "good enough"? If you have a large number of static pages I would go with Apache as your primary webserver or if you have to serve up other forms of dynamic content such as php, py, etc... but if you're only going to have servlet and/or jsp content or only a small number of static pages Tomcat standalone will do fine. > 3. Is mysql the best open source "free" database choice? We use postgreSQL and it works well for us. I believe postgreSQL works better than mySQL when datastores become larger but I'm not exactly sure.
