This is the story I was told. In old days, Tomcat was a "JSP/Servlet Container" - interpreting JSP/Servlet pages faster than it did for static html. So people chose Apache to load HTML pages and redirected requests of JSP/Servlet to Tomcat. Now Tomcat claims to be as fast as Apache in terms of interpreting HTMLs.

Why most of the people use Apache like the web server running in front of Tomcat? Would it be better to map tomcat on port 80? What is the plus value of having the apache web server in front? Is it only to have access to perl or php? Thanks Etienne. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
