[tomcat] port 80

[Michael Mueller]

Greetings,

I started my first test using tomcat as a container for servlets / java
server pages.
Any request to the special server port (8080) is fine. But I want to use
the standard http port. The user should be able to access some pure http
pages as well as servlets or java server pages - without any need to
change the port.

How to do this?

Michael

Not sure if this helps but I front end Tomcat with Apache2. Apache2 can
handle all 80 port and forward 8080 to tomcat.

This is the way to go if your server has plenty of memory and if you
receive a lot of traffic most of which does not require a JSP server.
Otherwise, Tomcat is a capable HTTP server and you will simplify your
life and reduce the load on your server computer if you do not have to
run two different servers. I suggest you start with the simple change
I have suggested in a separate post and upgrade to Apache plus Tomcat
when you need to. By that time you may find that you will better
served (pun intended) by a certified J2EE server like JBoss, GlassFish
or Geronimo.

Well, if you decide to do it, I have information on how to have both of
them to talk to each other from install to testing them on my website at:

Things I did to get it to work. That is, the site you will be actually
looking at.
