Hi guys!
I wondering if it's really so good to use Tomcat behind "a real" web
server like Apache or IIS.
In my Tomcat 5 book there are two reasons to do it so:
1. Tomcat is not as secure as common web servers, especially if you
want to use CGI and SSI (I don't think I want to)
2. Tomcat is slow delivering static content.
Well, as long it's just planned to use only 1 server for my application,
I don't think the both points are true for me. On the Tomcat site
there's a note about performance:
"When using a single server, the performance when using a native
webserver in front of the Tomcat instance is most of the time
significantly worse than a standalone Tomcat with its default HTTP
connector, even if a large part of the web application is made of static
files"
And security... what about security? Why is Tomcat behind of Apache
more secure then without it, especially (as I said) if both are running
on the same server.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Danny
