Once upon a time, Tomcat was not terribly efficient at returning static content, and that no longer valid perception persists, unfortunately (first impressions, and all that). Current levels of Tomcat show about the same performance as httpd for static content. Consequently, placing httpd in front of Tomcat just to serve static content does not improve response time for those requests, and has a significant negative impact for dynamic requests due to the added path length. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
