Well, another possible advantage is that there are oodles of mod_this, mod_that for HTTPD, which implement all manner of extensions and modifications that people have found useful. You may want some of those extensions or modifications. I haven't seen nearly as many such add-ons for Tomcat. It may be easiest to get the behavior you need by getting HTTPD to do some of it and Tomcat the rest. So, there are cases in which it's better to put Tomcat behind HTTPD and other cases in which you gain nothing but complexity by doing that. Needless complexity is worse than no needless complexity. So the best choice depends on what you need to accomplish. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer mwood@xxxxxxxxx Friends don't let friends publish revisable-form documents.
