Hi list!
Does anybody have an experience running cgi programs under tomcat?
We have a very high load ahead of us and one of my co workers suggestied to
run the
cgi program using a tomcat in place of apache .
What we have one spare server that we can connect behind our main server
using one of the two options:
1. setup mod_proxy to pass the cgi request to this backend machine and on
that machine use apache server.
2. put tomcat on the backend ,make it run cgi and connect it using mod_jk
Note that we can't use load balancer here to put the new machine _together_
with the production one ,
because we have no time to have a full install of _all_ the applications
there & we need another ssl cert for it.
We just want, at the mean time ,put it at the back and redirect some the
traffic there.
So ,which is better for cgi : tomcat or apache?
The one who suggested tomcat have in mind the fact that tomcat is
multithread and we will have less memory footprint with it,hopefully?
Thanks
Evgeny
