Do I need a Web Server too?
I am relatively new in this area...so bare with me... I am about to purchase Orion as our application server. The application I will be running is 100% web based, J2EE. Do I need a Web Server as well? Or does Orion act as this too? This will be running on a Windows 2k platform. If I need a Web Server, should I use Microsoft IIS? It is rated better then Apache for Windows platforms. If I do not need both, which is better? Web Server or App Server? Thanks, -M
RE: Do I need a Web Server too?
Orion can be used as a standalone web server or in conjunction with a 3rd party web server such as Apache or IIS. I can't comment on IIS as I have always used Apache as my web server (except for this project where Orion is used for everything). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matt Siegfried Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 7:22 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Do I need a Web Server too?

RE: Do I need a Web Server too?
You can just use Orion. It includes a pretty good web server and jsp/servlet engine. -Original Message- From: Matt Siegfried [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 7:22 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Do I need a Web Server too?

RE: Do I need a Web Server too?
Should I only use Orion? Or am I better off using both Orion and IIS? If so, what does having both provide me with?

Orion by itself it significantly faster than being tunneled through another web server. Unless you need something specific in IIS or Apache (e.g. mod_perl) then go with Orion alone. It's also easier to configure and maintain. Regards, Marty
