None in particular. mod_jk is particularly useful if you want different URI sub folders or different file types to be served by different tomcat servers or if you want to load balance between tomcat servers...
It will be slightly slower using mod_jk as the web server will need to connect to tomcat in order to process the requests. -----Original Message----- From: krip pane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 January 2003 22:05 To: tomcat Subject: difference between apache and tomcat webserver All, I hope I am understanding and asking this answer correctly. I recently installe tomcat 4.1 with default values and was able to server jsp pages. I was under the impression that apache is needed to serve the jsp pages - looks like not. So the question is what is the advantage or disadvantage of installing/using apache as your webserver and installing some connector (i.e. mod_jk) to use with tomcat.
