Apache also adds load balancing (via mod_jk). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Woon Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 5:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using Tomcat Without a Webserver
Hi all. I know it's standard practice to hook Tomcat up to a webserver, but is this really necessary? According to the docs, the main reason for this is that Tomcat's performance when serving static files is sub-par, although it usually goes on to note that this has improved recently. I can't seem to find anything on Tomcat 4.0x though, and I'm wondering if this advice is outdated? I thinking of using Tomcat only on a production system with light to moderate traffic. Almost all pages are JSP's, so the only static content would be images. So: What's the word on running Tomcat 4.02 without a webserver? What does using Apache+Tomcat buy me?
