There are lots of reasons to run Apache in front of Tomcat, and lots of reasons not to.
This just depends on your use cases and web site. At any rate, here's one way to find out in your case if the Apache --> ajp13 --> Tomcat process is your bottleneck. 1. Get jmeter at http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/ 2. Design and run tests against your web site as: http://yourhost/yoursite/ 3. Design and run test against your web site as: http://yourhost:8080/yoursite/ Caveats 1. Your static content will have to be available to Tomcat 2. Tomcat will have to run the http connector on 8080 (or another port - check server.xml) 3. You will have to be able to connect to your web site on the port listed in caveat 2. just some random thoughts . . . . /mde/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
