Hello guys, i hope you can help me... We want to run a java enterprise application on Tomcat. But we don't know what is better, Tomcat (6.0.14) as standalone or Tomcat behind an Apache (2.0.59 or 2.2.x) with mod_jk. If a customer has Apache already installed, we will use the configuration with mod_jk. But what to do when there is no web-server? Are there any reasons NOT to run Tomcat as a standalone-server in a produktive environment? The most important point is security: would it be "easier to hack" an standalone Tomcat than Tomcat+Apache? Performance shouldn't be a problem because there is only 1 application.
Thanks! Georg
