Tomcat vs. Apache
Hi !
Apache is faster then Tomcat, and in some documents I have also found
information that Tomcat should be less robust then Apache.
I am running Tomcat locally on my computer and so far I have not noticed any
performance problems, I am developing an intranet application that use alot
of JSP and applets, but the number of users is pretty low, say maybe 5-10
active users.
So, is it ok to use Tomcat for a solution like this ?, it would be
interesting to know a little of where the bottlenecks are in Tomcat..., at
the moment I don't have any possibility to try it out in a realistic
environment, so it would be nice to have a clue if I should go for a
solution with Tomcat and a separate HTTP server or use Tomcat alone.

Hello,
I've just been reading about the new I/O api in Java 1.4. If it is as good as it looks, Tomcat wont need Apache at all in the near future. Tomcat should be able to deliver static pages efficiently enough on its own. Very exciting. Can't wait for the Java 1.4 version of Tomcat. Keep up the good work!

Hello,
For one data point, I am on a project using Tomcat4-b7 (haven't admitted
latest Tomcat into project yet) and seeing pretty good performance.
Under a constant load from 3 machines running an automated abuse test
against a dual PIII-733, tomcat delivered 140page/sec avg. for about
a million hits before the engine mysteriously croaked. This is a moderately
complex jsp/mysql based app of around 50 jsp files and a couple jars of lib code.
I don't know how other servlet engines compare, but that's several orders
of magnitude faster than my current user base requires.
