Thanks for clarification, Craig But then again, what if the static content (e.g. some html pages) resides inside web-app, is it than considered static? Will Apache serve it from there directly (I believe not, cause it could be on a different host) or will mod_webapp pre-cache it in some place Apache is aware of or will such content be served by Tomcat? (that is what I think for now) Anton -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
