Hi all,

I need some advice with regards to Tomcat security, my company is not convinced about Tomcat's security, I work for a financial institution so you might understand their paranoia.

My question is how best to secure a Java servlet that runs on Tomcat. Requests are routed through front end servers running Apache on separate physical machines. Should I configure in addition an Apache server locally or is Tomcat okay without it, my feeling is that this is not necessary.

Tomcat uses a JDBC realm to connect to a database for authentication, we use SSL and the machines are pretty well locked down. Is there anything else that should be considered? Does Apache offer something extra so that Tomcat should run with its own Apache web server bearing in mind we use only Java.

Thanks for your help,
Peter
