Thank you, Chris... I appreciate your tips.
So, how to serve dynamic content with Tomcat and static one with Apache, all
in the same web application, in secure way? Can you show me that or tell me
a link to learn it?
Now, users and passwords are in tomcat-users.xml file.
When I get home, I'll try some test in order to prove who is serving the
content. I will to add or remove dynamic content to the pages. (Maybe some
pages haven't dynamic content.
Sorry.

Thank you, again.
