I'm want to vhost a couple of domains and have am thinking of installing Apache 2.0 + Tomcat 4.1.x and connect em together with JK2.
Atm I actually dont need Apache, but if I skip apache installation how much do I have to re-do after installing Apache?
I also would really appreciate some concrete advice on how to secure up a Tomcat and Apache installation. To start with I'm gonna virtualhost sites using Servlets, JSP and JDBC. Also tips and advices on how to get optimal performance would be really appreciated. =) |

This is a large subject and there's many more ways than one to do this. JK2 is currently under development for Gentoo so that can be expected sometime in the future.
If you want to run a standalone servlet engine, I would actually recommend Orion or Resin instead of Tomcat -- they are full J2EE-capable servers with EJB containers... generally more robust, and faster. (Orion and Resin both serve static pages faster than Apache).
You can find Orion in net-www/orion. It's a very solid product. I will be adding Resin to the tree in the next 2-4 weeks. Resin is directly comparable to Orion in almost every way but I haven't finished my ebuild for it yet.
If you don't want or need to run Apache, try Orion. You'll be happier with it. You can run PHP and Perl underneath Orion if you need to. As a webserver it's extremely fast, easy to manage, and inherently more secure than a webserver based in C.
The only downside to Orion (and Resin) is that if you use it for commercial use, you are obliged to buy a license. Otherwise it is free to use for personal or development purposes. (Worth every penny if you do happen to buy a license for commercial use; they are better products than Tomcat and supported commercially). |
