Why integrate Tomcat with Apache?

What's the reason to integrate Tomcat with Apache? What are the benefits?

Apache is way faster and more scaleable than Tomcat.
So if your website provides also static content (pages, pictures) etc this would be the reason.
Additionally if you have other technology to include, that Tomcat cannot handle (PHP for example) you would do this with Apache, too.

  • Tomcat with Apache

    Hi,
    I have followed the tutorial on this website to configure tomcat to connect with Apache.
    I am on a CENTOS 5 system.
    Apache was already installed and serving three web sites without problems.
    I wanted to add the ability to work with .jsp files and others.
    I loaded Tomcat with incident and it is running.
    I also loaded mod_jk to connect the two as directed by the tutorial.
    However, I cannot access a .jsp file unless I add the port number 8080 in the location bar along with the url.
    Can someone point me to a good guide for getting this up and running? Or maybe provide some insight in what I might be doing wrong.
    Thank You,
    Mike

    On this website? Which tutorial are you talking about? Apache is in no way related to Sun.
    At least you should read the documentation which come along with the Tomcat Connector: [http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/].

  • Tomcat vs APache

    I have a few questions I've looked for in the apache and tomcat documentations. The moer I read the more I get confused
    1) Can tomcat be used as a stand alone server?
    2) Why should anyone integrate tomcat with apache?

    1) Yes you can.
    2) If my knoledge about tomcat is correct it is not properly optimized for static content. So normally you put tomcat behind an apache server and set the apache handle the ststic content. and tomcat to handle dynamic content.
    That way you can also get some load off from the tomcat too
    Also tomcat can be intigrated to already existing apache servers to enable servlet/jsps in the server.
    Someware I saw an artical about tomcat being intigrated with IIS to allow servlets in it.

  • Servlet mapping with Apache + Tomcat

    I'm trying to set up my servlet with apache + Tomcat(3.2.3), and i'm using mod_jk as the Tomcat-Apache plug-in.
    The HelloWorld servlet that comes with the examples app worked fine at: http://localhost/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample,
    but how do I change the configurations, so that it can be invoked at:
    http://localhost/examples/HelloWorldExample ?
    It appears to me that '/servlet/' is the default prefix for Tomcat's RequestInterceptor, there is no way to get around that.
    Any insights will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
    Elaine

    hi
    Try this:
    add below code in web.xml file in examples/WEB-INF
    F directory
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>
    HelloWorldExample
    </servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>
    /HelloWorldExample
    </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    Thanks for the reply, the web.xml is already set up this way, in fact, I'm able to invoke the servlet through tomcat(running on port 8080): http://localhost:8080/examples/HelloWorldExample,
    tomcat reads the web.xml without any problems.
    The problem comes from Apache(port 80), http://localhost:80/examples/HelloWorldExample wouldn't work, only http://localhost:80/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample works.
    It appears to me that when requests are relayed from Apache to tomcat, you need to tell tomcat that you intend to invoke a servlet by prefixing '/servlet/', if you look in the server.xml, it has
    <RequestInterceptor
    className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
    debug="0" prefix="/servlet/" />
    I've tried to change this to something else, it didn't seem to make any difference.

  • Client authentication with apache+mod_ssl+tomcat

    Hello.
    My question is a little bit off topic.
    I try to read client certificates with request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"), but the result is always null.
    Probably it's null because I have nothing on the session. So my tomcat does not have the certificate. I use apache + mod_ssl + mod_jk + tomcat.
    And here is my question: how did you configured apache and tomcat so that tomcat has the client cert ?
    Thanks.

    usually u generate a keystore for client, and mention that in ur SSL connector of tomcat
    in apache, we need to configure things in ssl.conf

  • The tab is bad with apache web server and tomcat

    Fijate que solo he estado experimentando con JSC, no he tenido oportunidad de poner nada en producci�n usando la combinaci�n Apache Web Server y Tomcat JSP container y no cuento en �ste momento con �sta configuraci�n para probar.
    Nosotros (en donde trabajo) usamos IBM Web Server (basado en Apache Web Server 2), IBM Websphere 6 y las aplicaciones JSF en producci�n est�n hechas con Rational Web Developer.
    Ahora he estado muy ocupado con un proyecto urgente, si tengo alg�n tiempo libre la semana entrante tratar� de probar tu combinaci�n (no te prometo nada) pero para ello necesito que me digas las versiones que est�s usando de Apache Web Server y de Tomcat, como est�s enlazando entre ambos con un m�dulo o con ProxyPass y mejor si me mandas el httpd.conf.

  • Tomcat and apache mod_jk or mod_webapp

    Hello,I am using linux and I am running a apache web server and I also use tomcat.
    I have upgraded from tomcat 4.0 to 4.1.24 and I am now wanting to use servlets and jsp with apache.I have messed around with servlet etc for awhile now but I wish to use them on my server,which is apache.My question is,do you know of a good website that explains how I can use the mod_jk,mod_jk2 or mod_webapp with apache 2.0 so I can use servlet with apache.I have looked but have not came up with nothing good and the stuff I have found is for older version and I am not sure if I need to use the mod_jk ,mod_jk2 or mod_webapp with the version of apache and tomcat I have.Ps,A good tut page on this would be nice.
    Thank you for your time.
    "Note" the new tomcat is a pain in the %$# to set up cause you have to uncomment the servlet invoker in the conf/xml file.Older version you did not have to do this cause it was already done for you.So this note is for people that has ever had trouble with setting up the new tomcats cause it was a pain in my @$$ figuring out why the hell the servlet was not working.

  • Tomcat 4 - apache - mod_webapp problem

    hi,
    I know this is no tomcat forum, but i don't know where to post this message.
    I'm unable to connect apache with my tomcat server.
    I've installed apache(1.3.x) and tomcat(4.0 final) as stand-alone. they work fine.
    I've added the mod_webapp.so and the following to my configuration:
    --- httpd.conf ---------------------------------------
    # WARP Connection to Tomcat 4

    apache should forward this request to tomcat,
    but apache says: "Not Found"
    Can anybody help me, please?
    ciao Markus

    Try
    http://localhost/examples/
    Why?
    Apache doesn't automaticaly add the slash sign at the end if it is not configured to.
    Hint:
    Install webapp-info also. Can be usefull sometimes...
