Hi Asha,
Is mod_proxy also an option you are considering? "mod_proxy" is part of the
Apache distribution and does not require compiling any modules separately.
Here are my thoughts:
Tomcat's built-in HTTP connector can be used for production if your production
traffic is light. It is advisable to front-end Tomcat with Apache. Apache
will serve static files, and ProxyPass all dynamic content to Tomcat. Apache's
I/O is superior to Tomcat. Besides, front-ending Tomcat with Apache also gives
you access to the powerful traffic filtering, security and other modules that
are available for Apache.
What do others think?
