Howdy, >1) TomCat can be installed on a server as standalone (for example at port >8080) or inside (like a plugin) apache http web server (port 80). Is there >any major differences between standalone and plugin installation?
Yes, major differences. You have to install the front-end, e.g. apache, as well as tomcat, and configure the connection between them using a connector such as mod_jk. This seems to be troublesome for many people for various reasons. >2) can TomCat serves "html files" besides Java Servlets? Yes. >3) using TomCat as standalone, is there any security issue? Compared to using tomcat with Apache front-end? Probably no more no less security issues in the grand scheme of things. You always have to worry about security, minimize the openings you give, run as a server user with minimum permissions, audit your systems regularly, keep logs, etc. >4) TomCat will deny the download of the java classes of my serlvet, right? Yes. Classes are placed under the /WEB-INF directory of your webapp, and the server disallows access there. All clients see is the HTML output of your servlet, as if they accessed an HTML page.
