I'd go with 'or'. In the TC 3.x line, the HTTP Connector really s*cked (except that with the TC 3.3.2-dev nightly, you have the option of using the same CoyoteConnector as TC 4.1.x-5.0.x :). Unless you *need* the features of e.g. mod_rewrite, mod_php, I'd agree with Yoav, and you should use Tomcat as stand-alone.

Conventional and/or outdated.

Would >you say Tomcat can handle that fairly well including the static stuff? Yeah, I would, but the specifics depend on your application, your hardware, your OS. It's not hard to test: put together a JMeter (or AB, or Grinder, or whatever tool you like) test plan that simulates however many concurrent users you expect, run it on tomcat standalone, on tomcat with IIS, on a cluster, iteratively tune the system, and see what happens. >Would I just need to look at server.xml to get more performance from Tomcat >(exluding the JProfiler run) or is a cluster a really good idea too. If a Again, depends on your requirements. Clusters increase setup and maintenance costs, but can also increase reliability and possibly performance if you balance the load in the cluster.
