Hi Jagadeesh,
first: integration here means, that you are fronting Tomcat with an
additional web server. YXou don't need to do this, because Tomcat also
is a web server. But there are common reasons to do it, like security,
separation of static content, and application routing (few web servers
take the requests for a lot of webapps and forward them to a complex
system of servlet containers) etc.
The Tomcat project has a sub project tomcat connectors (sometimes called
JK or mod_jk), which produces plugins for common web servers. Those
plugins enable the web servers to forward requests to Tomcat. The
forwarding is done via TCP/IP and a special protocol called AJP/1.3 or
ajp13 is used. Tomcat knows how to handle this protocol out of the box.
In the default server.xml configuration file of Tomccat there is already
an entry for an ajp13 connector, which uses a different port than the
usual http connector.
The plugins exist for Apache httpd 1.3/2.0/2.2, for the Sun web server
and for Microsoft IIS.
Which web server you choose depends on several decisions, most of them
independant from the plugin. The plugin has the best integration for
Apache httpd, but also works for IIS and Sun web server. Sun web server
has the fewest users. Tomcat itself doesn't care about the type of web
server fronting it.
For Solaris we build binaries for the plugins for httpd and for the Sun
web server. You can download those under
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi
(look for "Binary releases" and then "solaris" and then "jk-1.2.25").
The docs for the plugins are under:
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/

Rainer

Hi All,
I installed/configured Tomcat 6.0.13 version on Solaris SPARC server.
Also I installed Sun ONE web server 6.1 (Called currently as Sun Java
System Web Server). I want to integrate Sun ONE with Tomcat. I'm new to
the web servers and their configuration. I heard that Sun ONE /Apache
will be integrated with Tomcat for load balancing.
How should I proceed for configuring Sun ONE or Tomcat integration with
Sun ONE?
Which will be better and stable Apache with Tomcat or Sun ONE with
Tomcat?. Please guide me if I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Jagadeesh Tata.
