I would suggest another criteria. If your application is on an intranet or private network and traffic is low, by all means omit apache. However, many of us put apache on or outside a firewall, and keep our application server safely inside. The fewer services running on the exposed server, the better.My 2 cents.

Just to throw my 2 cents worth in, My app uses mostly dynamic content and I have tried using apache as a front end, tomcat 4 and Jetty. In my tests, using apache as a front end added a significant latency to serving the content from JBoss. So I would say yes, you may get benefits on your static content if you use apache, but you will also lose performance on your dynamic content. In my app I dropped apache as a front end as I was getting noticeably better performance with tomcat standalone. Eventually I switched to using to Jetty as it is shipped by default with JBoss now, and it seems snappier than tomcat. A good deciding factor therefore seems to be the ratio of static vs. dynamic content on your site.

I can be (and surely am) wrong in my reasoning, but the original message says explicitly "ONLY dynamic applications". So, you say apache should be used to serve images/html... as far as I know, that is static content. So, if you have NO static content, what will apache improve?
