To give you an example: We do use a set of tomcat machines (four nodes, currently) to carry our "enterprise" application, having an apache web server in front of those to do load balancing / failover clustering. Asides this, while tomcat and "friends" (servlet containers) are made to serve up, well, J2EE web tier applications, web servers like apache2, lighttpd, ... are usually better at serving "static" content (images, static css files, html documents that don't contain any logic, ...). And, to add another point: Maybe your choice of technology is not limited to J(2)EE but also does include PHP, Python, Perl (be that in applications of your own and/or in some content management system to serve your company web site), this is what you usually want to have a "non-J2EE" web server for. :) Cheers, Kristian -- Kristian Rink * http://zimmer428.net * http://flickr.com/photos/z428/ jab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * icq: 48874445 * fon: ++49 176 2447 2771 "One dreaming alone, it will be only a dream; many dreaming together is the beginning of a new reality."
