Thank you for your answer. Can the JBoss EJB container be easily added to Tomcat + Apache (binded together with mod_jkxx) couple? if so how can we build-up for running all three..? As far as I know, Tomcat_JBoss couple bundled with together for enterprise usage. Can I integrate the Tomcat unit of this couple with Apache via mod_jkxx module?

If you can separate your static content from the dynamic parts, you can easily make such an arrangement. If not, then the only hope for you is mod_jk (mod_jk2 is still in testing). > And additionaly using the EJB container of JBoss and Web Container of Tomcat > for non-static parts. > Thus using all three products together on a single website? The answer to this question largely depends on your website organization and purpose. It could be that you can run both Apache and Tomcat, side by side, without any integration. Apache would listen on TCP:80 and Tomcat on TCP:8080. The presentations on both servers would have explicit links, like this: http://www.domain.com:80/path/to/link.html http://www.doamin.com:8080/another/path/to/link.jsp If this looks ugly, you can try to "integrate" Tomcat under Apache, using mod_jk, mod_jk2 or mod_webapp. If you want Apache to serve static contenet belonging to your web application, then mod_jk is the way. Nix.
