Interesing article. I've done more basic tests with tomcat 5.0.19 and jdk 1.4.2 and apache 2.0.?? apache was faster.
Maybe the problem is when I was testing static pages, it wasn't tomcat as stand-alone vs. apache it was apache vs. tomcat + connector + apache also I run the test locally on a windows machine. so perhaps java runs slower on windows. Although i do have this question about non-static pages. Which do you think is faster? let say you have 1GB ram and 2 CPUs. running a) apache + 1 tomcat or b) apache + 2 tomcat in cluster via mod_jk? would having 2 JVM on the same server that has two CPU's run faster or it wouldn't make any diffrence? do you know of any tests done for clusters >> From: Alex Jalali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: Re: TomCat + mod_jk performance >> >> If you have lots of static html pages then apache is much better at >> handling them. > > Have you actually measured this on the current version of Tomcat, or are > you just echoing what you've heard?
