Is Tomcat just an add-on?

[Ben Austin <be...@hotmail.com>]

Is Tomcat a web server or is it just an add-on for web servers that are not 
servlet-enabled?

Its a web server. You can use Tomcat as your web server. Based on your 
needs, you can also decide to use Tomcat + Another Web Server (ex; Apache)

Re: SSL

[Øyvind Vestavik <Oy...@idi.ntnu.no>]

That's right.
I use a stand-alone version and am using SSL to encrypt
requests and responses using a self-signed certificate created using the
keytool from Sun for development of my servlets. This should be fairly
well documented in the documentation.

SSL

[neal <ne...@yahoo.com>]

I am 99% sure that SSL can be setup directly with Tomcat, is this correct?

I mean I've even looked at the connector node in the server.xml file and so
it seems pretty obvious to me but the tech at my ISP is insisting he
believes it is necessary to use Apache as the http server and apply the SSL
there.

Since I've never done this before I thought I'd double check with the
experts before escalating the argument.

That said, you can apply the SSL directly to Tomcat, right?

:)

Thanks.

Ben,

It's both, depending on how you configure it.  It's pretty efficient
standalone, or you can integrate with a web server to serve static content
if you've got high traffic levels.
