Yeah I'm using it, The answer is yet for both of your questions.
> 1. Does tomcat has all the functionalities of the regular apache http > server? e.g. virtualnameserver... Virtualnameserver/virtual host can be set in the server.xml under its conf directory. > 2. Can I just use tomcat by itself as http server? Yeah, even though tomcat is built for Servlet/JSP engine but it has the ability to handle httpd tasks, but I wouldn't say it's better than apache web server it self. If you're going to do it for fun it's ok but not for an application that needs efficiency and resource critical. For this I suggest you to embed apache on tomcat. Tomcat even has SSL ability! Check out the documentation site. That will help a lot. Hope this helps, Lucas
