well,
putting up apache in front of tomcat usually is not done due to
security-reasons. however, doing so won't do any harm if you know what
you're doing... ;)
the only reason putting up apache in front usually is to serve static
content when running a high-load-web-app. besides, you can do quite
some tricky stuff regarding url-rewriting and so on which is quite
difficult to accomplish when using tomcat only.
however, if somebody wants to run tomcat on port 80, on unix, this can
easily be achieved with the jsvc-tool (see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/setup.html), on windows it's
not an issue anyway.
btw., a word to andrew:
and mod_jk
blindly forward all traffic towards the backend tomcat.
you know about apache httpd and you read and understood the options
about how to configure mod_jk
(http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html)?
cheers
greg
