In what way would that improve security? Since all requests would be forwarded to Tomcat, adding httpd accomplishes nothing except additional overhead and complexity. It's silly to place *anything* in a completely unprotected area; you would still have a firewall in place restricting access to just ports 80 and 443, even if httpd were handling those ports. Might as well have Tomcat handle those ports directly. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
