1) Yes. Tomcat can serve images and HTML, that is the purpose of the Coyote HTTP connector, which is installed with tomcat by default. It was on my installations.
2) The difference is #1. If you want to divide static content and dynamic content, you want AJP (mod_jk). The current WARP implementation (mod_webapp) does not differentiate between static and dynamic content. It may in the future. I hope it does, though I've had zero problems with mod_jk on both tomcat 3 and 4. With mod_webapp, all content is served by tomcat, apache is not involved except as a request receiver.

Dear subscribers. I have two questions about using Tomcat 4.x & Apache 2.x as a base for web application development: 1) A solution typically consists of html, jsp pages and servlets. Is it possible to store html, jsp and servlets based on the logical structure of the solution and have Tomcat process only based on the file extension or must all jsp and servlet files be collected in the folder pointed out by the WebAppDeploy attribute in httpd.conf? I.e. if I have a solution where I store customer data in a database I'll probably have at least a form page for registering a new customer, a list view where I list all customers and a servlet to store submitted customer data in a database. In a simple case the form page would be a html page and the list view an jsp page. If these files where to be grouped logically, i.e. by task, the form page, the jsp list page and the servlet should be in the same directory on disk but as I understand it Apache/Tomcat integration requires me to have the html pages in one directory structure for access by Apache and jsp/servlets in another structure, pointed out by WebAppDeploy, for access by Tomcat. Is this correct? With a logical grouping of files mentioned above I mean a directory structure like this: Customer Web |-----| | customers | |---- new_customer_from.html | |---- list_customers.jsp | |---- store_new_user.class | |-----| companies 2) As far as I know there are two connectors for integrating Tomcat and Apache, Warp and AJP. When I experimented I've used the warp connector, but I don't really know the difference between the two besides that they utilize different protocols. If I can get some more information on this matter I'll be grateful.
