Tomcat deployment in real world

[Rajesh Nair <rn...@informix.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I have been going through the docs on Tomcat from the jakarta site (Tomcat
- A minimalistic User's guide). 
Although I have it setup to work with Apache, I noticed that the document
states it's not wise to deploy 
Tomcat as a standalone container citing that it is not as fast, robust etc
as Apache. My questions are:

1. What are the limitations on Tomcat in terms of robustness: Can it handle
only so many hits? Is there
    an actual number to this limitation? 
2. Is there any plan to make it a robust, real world deployment container,
especially since this is a java program?
3. This is more of a general Apache question : is there any chance of
Apache being built with Tomcat integrated 
    into it in the near future?

Appreciate any answers you might have..


Regards
