Well, yes, of cause, if you need apache, you need apache... I was of couse only thinking about the case where you could manage without apache? Would I gain anything when looking only at performance? One related (?) question. One use of appache is to do loadbalancing but requesting from different tomcat instances. Is there a way to do this using tomcat only?
