Tomcat can be used as a standalone server or an "add in" to other servers such as IIS or Apache. When a jsp or servlet is request by Apache or IIS the request is passed to Tomcat which in turn send the request back to Apache or IIS. http://jarkarta.apache.org has relavent information on how to configure Tomcat with other servers.

I'm looking at upgrading a Win2000/Apache/JServ configuration to Apache/Tomcat to run my servlets (and hopefully fix the sporadic "Internal Server Errors") and I am wondering the same thing. Tomcat seems to start Apache, but I'm not sure if that is the case. I am also having a bit of a problem getting a servlet set up in Tomcat. Are the directions difficult to understand or am I just dense? Any explanation would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

But each time I see people asking questions having to do with running Tomcat and IIS/Apache together I wonder if I am missing something.Is Tomcat not able to do all these web services alone? Why does it need assistance from either IIS or Apache ? Please can somebody explain this to me. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
