In addition: The only problem with TC/SSL (standalone) is that its implementation (jsse) doesn't work with IE5.0 128 SP1 due to a bug in IE5.0 Apache's mod_ssl does instead and thus we were forced to switch to Apache(ssl)/TC though we want to support as many browsers as possible and IE5.0 is still a very popular one. And as connector I would prefer mod_jk at this stage because it can loadbalance quite now. Oliver

Meinholz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 5. Februar 2002 17:23 An: Tomcat Users List Betreff: Re: apache or tomcat My feeling is that if you have much static content and are able to get the connectors working easily, use apache, otherwise use only tomcat. An advantage of using tomcat as a web server is that you have only one server to setup, configure and consume resources instead of two. If most of your site is dynamic, your requests are pretty much just passing through apache on their way to tomcat anyway and that is a delay. One thing that I'm a little concerned about is the performance difference of apache/ssl and tomcat/ssl. I have no reason to doubt tomcat/ssl, I just don't know how mature it is compared to apache/ssl (I know, it's really JSSE right?). From the doc, it appears generating a certificate request for VeriSign and installing it is not too difficult, but until I've done it, I'm worried about that too. I am in the process of moving several iPlanet/JRun sites to only tomcat. I tried for weeks to get mod_webapp built on my environment with no success. I have given up hope now but will probably look back in a few months and see if things got any better. I didn't want to look into mod_jk since that connector seems to be on the way out (I don't want to spend the time learning something that already has a replacement). I decided that since at least 95% of our sites are dynamic anyway, I will use only tomcat. One final point, if you want to use other applications that are cgi-bin, then you definitely need apache. I have this situation on a couple of my sites and that is why I will continue to monitor the develoment of the connectors. Lloyd Gang Wu wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm choosing between 2 solutions. > 1.
