Thanks for the quick reply Gary.. Some follow-up questions.
1) So the http server bundled with tomcat doesn't do any help ? like it doesnt provide any load-balancing implementation ? like e.g. mod-jk which has to be used in conjunction with apache...Further I presume mod-jk also handles the fail-over scenarios.. 2) When u say "there is no huge amount of point", i wonder if there is any point AT ALL having that tomcat clustering enabled if we dont have something like a load-balancer/fail-over-service at the front?
