No, but it's quite common to see httpd used to "front" a Tomcat-based application. This is a good strategy when you need complicated deployments with different JVMs running different applications (or maybe just multiple JVMs running the same application, for fail-over and load-balancing). > I've read that many people use Tomcat just for webapp deployment > and use apache to handle static pages, among other things, but is > it reasonable to use Tomcat to handle static pages, or is it solely > for webapp server? Tomcat does a great job as a static web server, but to get better performance from the default you should: 1. Enable APR (connectors will auto-detect and use) if you use HTTPS or 2. Switch to the NIO connector if you don't use HTTPS APR's OpenSSL-based TLS implementation turns out to be faster than other combinations of code. NIO and APR are about evenly-matched when it comes to throughput and scalability, though I would bet on NIO all other things being equal. > I'm actually interested in using Tomcat for a personal project.

Sounds like a disaster for a server-quality JVM. You could look at an embedded JVM, but running Tomcat on top of that isn't likely to pay off. > Initially I would create a simple webapp that has prompt (where a > user can input a command that the arduino will then act on) and > display analog reading's (so as to monitor). This kind of thing can be done with a simple Bash script, and use a lot less memory. Be aware that what you are doing is (intentionally) opening a huge security hole in your setup. > I'm just no sure how to go about hosting tomcat, I'm pretty sure it > is not possible to run on the arduino, but maybe using port > forwarding or web socket to have Tomcat on a laptop or maybe a > rasberry pi. Would this be a feasible method? Probably not. If you were going to do all that, what's the point in running Tomcat at all? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSk1pJAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYUXgP/3e4+xfJIAieTw8U9ohtvLfZ Jjl65dwjlhCRH26imhqIK9MK3w9ox+odGpjSlMM+cUPYgiIGZhxbFtUvLOigdkW4 0ENutvSzXg/mLdrDVM035IjRJMSXyIjk4Av2Wc+kJOeSyNEKREClN9Kgjojx2y44 8GoaoZCNhXgI76JfqBIgwidxrLhECS7Y5UIWzuDI0bsW0x6r1B5VhZdQBnpp2t9g 6Eb3BmfA8fE4hZYjkimKEvPCdryB/+lFuDgf5dBMIUVAemMK1fl+yn4hCaL9MKbY DJnJeEM7Keu9KaYY4hQxQg9do/y7CNWMTqIfpB0/L2fYEu4HriNItQm0sATJ8XYB Kjkd7TP0NU1lyhQLI7ikbkDDA/48oYBS0GkvN3F1TNYENyRuNW9fzUNMEPp6cXvd HH5vPGn4NerJpdXq5wV6m0zVXCuOyl9uUDuP0LRHzx9fkA991RcxYqR4m21kHugD Qi31kvw3klUJfPls7oRAY0LQJ2E3+sjGbtPccvCo4reQoxh1w7BcRxRKxwh63nKE Cb4ITADi3qITfPRmRIHUVlDk/YD5/c2jZXxWU8Ecw4UwD9Aa9PsYzjwD2hkPBgGx mvcTA4q0Lep8MZg+Il2/2sN0wAvMBRY8eu6fkDpFMrkDzEkYEa8jbx0znQYDeJBx 7CmJMGl2LBOcIJu1s55h =vBKG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
