Have you actually measured this on the current version of Tomcat, or are you just echoing what you've heard? If you try 5.5.x with the APR connector, I think you'll find little difference in performance between Tomcat and httpd for static content. This is an interesting read: http://tomcat.apache.org/articles/benchmark_summary.pdf (Note that the above article does not reflect the latest improvements in Tomcat performanc.) There are reasons to front-end Tomcat with httpd, but static content performance is no longer one of them. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
