On this mailing list, the party line is that Tomcat is as fast as any other web server. I haven't benchmarked it myself.
There's no big issue here. If the HTML files are part of your webapp, they're under a Tomcat directory and will be served by Tomcat. If you want to use a different web server for those files, put them into that server's directory. It's only a problem if you try to configure two different servers in the same directory. Don't do that. You wouldn't put your whole web site into c:\windows\system32, would you? :-) -- Len On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 16:11, Tim Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, we believed apache was more flexible with mods (e.g., we use > mod_bwshare) and having apache serve static content would be > faster/higher performance.
