(I'll assume by "Apache" you mean httpd, since both Tomcat and httpd are Apache products.) I'm always of the opinion that one should use the minimum necessary components to get the job done. So, unless you have some compelling need for httpd (e.g., running PHP), I would not include it in the configuration. If you expect to have a lot of SSL traffic, then using the APR option of Tomcat would help there. If the amount of SSL traffic is limited, I wouldn't bother with it; if the traffic increases, you can always add it later. > I know Apache and APR use the OpenSSL libraries, which > some say are safer. Some say the world is flat (sorry, Mr Pratchett).
