See Craig's reply earlier today about Tomcat security. Tomcat is no less secure or "more" secure than anything else, and it is very possible to have a very secure Tomcat installation properly configured. Bias aside, knowing the history of IIS, I would almost prefer to use Tomcat alone on Windows than using it in conjunction with a web server, even Apache. Not that Apache on Windows is bad, but the whole services/kernel model for Windows NT/2k is a little flaky in my book, and Apache has to use it. No, I'm not trolling, just stating a preference/perception based on personal experience.

That's interesting but it doesn't seem like that would be a very secure set up to me. I'm positive you know more about that than I do but something doesn't sound right there. I've never heard of that before. Let me check into that thanks

Since you are on Windows, you don't have to worry about the privileged ports restriction for running Tomcat like you do on a UNIX variant, so
why not just run Tomcat on port 80 and be done with the whole web server
issue completely?

Well, I am doing this on apache 2.0.44. My DirectoryIndex has index.html and index.jsp. I am directing *.jsp to tomcat. Requesting the directory without a filename causes index.jsp to be processed by tomcat and the result returned.
I am also using mod_jk2 if that makes a difference.

Switching to Apache wouldn't solve it unless you wanted to use mod_rewrite. Check the archives for last fall...there were bunches of
intothreads on this topic for quite awhile. AFAIK, nothing's changed, though I was off this list for several weeks recently and its very possible someone came up with a workaround that I missed.
