You don't need apache, I use iptables to redirect the port 80 to 8080 
and 443 to 8443, and Tomcat Standalone isn't root.

Hi, 

In my experience a machine running an application only with jsps/servlets (with no static content) is under more load with apache than without apache configured. I must though add, that my load testing where done at least 6-8 months ago, both with IIS 5 and apache 1.3, but never with https connector, or mod_jk2 or apache2. 

Yet there may be other reasons to use apache such as security (as mentioned in another email), or the "know how" of the one to run the system on daily bases longterm. 

Hope it helps

Reynir,

Thank you for your advice. So the main reason to intergrate 
with Apache is using Apache to ease the load from Tomcat. In 
other word, every static content will be rendered by Apache 
without Tomcat. If a web application use dynamic content 
mechanism such as JSP/Servlet, then the integration won't 
benifit us at all. Am I correct. I know some one use Apache 
for traffic load balance only.

thanks

Paul

You can set up virtual hosts with tomcat.

You should set up another HTTP server  (such as apache, IIS) 
if you want to use apaches capabilities and performance. 
Obviously having tomcat delivering static documents, such as 
images and .html can be a waste of resource.

Performance is the biggest single reason to intergrate with 
apache. This dependes on the type of application you are 
using, and how big part of it is static content rather than 
dynamic content such as servlets/jsp.

Then of course know-how of the people that will be running 
the system long term is very often a reason enough to deploy 
with either apache or IIS, as they don't neccesarily know how 
to configure tomcats security, but know how to do it in IIS/apache.

Hope it helps,
