Re: ONE More Time! why does Tomcat 4 work this way

[Jeff Kilbride]

Personally, I would drop mod_webapp in favor of mod_jk, if you really need
to run a separate web server. TC 4 was the first release of mod_webapp,
while mod_jk has been around much longer -- and is better tested. AFAIK,
there was only one guy working on mod_webapp and he announced he was taking
a long vacation a few weeks ago. I don't know if anybody has picked up where
he left off. TC 4.0.1 has a configuration line for mod_jk already included
in server.xml.

Looking through the list lately, a large percentage of the messages I see
all relate to problems with mod_webapp.

Your call...

P.S. -- I've found TC 4 to be faster without the use of Apache. I use a
small footprint webserver (i.e. Acme's thttpd or Dan Bernstein's publicfile)
to serve images from another port (81) and let TC handle all the dynamic
stuff -- I don't have any non-dynamic html files on my site...
