It can be done, but it's less painful to do with httpd. > Can I make apache render php pages, while Tomcat renders jsp? That's probably better. > Is it easier to implement mailing and registration on php > instead of jsp, as it seems to me? That may well be only because you're more familiar with PHP. Personally, I would keep everything on Tomcat, in Java (admittedly, I am less familiar with PHP, plus it can become a maze of twisty little passages rather quickly). > I'm using basic authentication provided by tomcat, with > username and password stored in tomcat-users.xml file in > apache-tomcat-6x/conf directory. Definitely wouldn't recommend such a mechanism for production use - not terribly robust, and subject to hacking if anyone has read access to the conf directory. Tomcat provides several alternative built-in realms: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html Or you can use a popular filter with more options: http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/ - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
