Configuration and performance

Hi 1. Is there any advantage in using Apache Web Server as a front end to Tomcat when the bulk of the site being served is dynamic (i.e. servlets)? 2. Is there any advantage in using high end drives on a Tomcat Web Server (running Red Hat Linux on Intel hardware)? When is disk access required

URL

Hi Is it possible to change the \servlet\ portion of the URL to something else? For example, www.domain.com/somepath/servlet/test to www.domain.com/somepath/whatever/test Thanks

web.xml

Hi Is there any advantage to adding servlet entries in the WEB-INF/web.xml or should you just rely on the auto loading feature? Thanks
