Howdy, You can do CGI in tomcat-standalone: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/cgi-howto.html
However, seeing as how CGI is an area where security is a big risk, I'd rather delegate that to Apache.

Additional question if I may ...
CGI?
Reason : A previous Admin system was CGI-perl based. I have used TC to do the stuff I do ... but we still need the previous bits. We're about to integrate, and I have taken it on 'faith' that we can just 'mix the
2
together' - others know Apache well.
I thought I'd piggyback on this question 'cos it seemed relevant -
sorry.

as soon as the server has started it can switch to another role which

Howdy, Apache is the best HTTP web server out there, I'd say. That's a sweeping statement that covers: - Configurability: you can configure pretty much anything any which
they- Stability: no other HTTP server is hit as hard / as much as Apache httpd, no other HTTP server is expected to stay up as long - Security: Apache is extremely well tested for security, constantly being analyzed by hackers, pros, etc. - Speed: for just serving static HTML content, Apache is as good as
thiscome IMHO
Disadvangtes of Apache/Tomcat versus Tomcat-standalone include: - Increased configuration difficulty - Increased number of services (2 instead of 1) that need to be monitored, started, etc. - Increased difficulty of debugging problems
Both Apache and Tomcat can do SSL/HTTPS by themselves. Both can do virtual hosting by themselves. Apache is at least as good, possibly better, than tomcat at virtual hosting.
This topic has been discussed at length, so I would usually say just search the archives. However, I think a lot of people still have
choices.conception that tomcat sucks at static content (which it doesn't) and that all serious applications use apache as a front-end (which they don't). I personally tend to have an operational view of things, and have found tomcat-standalone (with a security manager and a tight security policy) to be sufficient for my real-world needs.
I'm sure other people will disagree ;) But it's nice to have
youIf nothing else, you can always start with tomcat standalone, and if
individual(s) torun into something you can't do, add Apache.

What are the advantages/disadvantages to using Apache as the http
server
sending all jsp/servlet related traffic to Tomcat for processing, or using Tomcat stand alone? Other factors...I need to run SSL, and to support multiple virtual hosts.
