[ILUG] Tomcat

[Robert Gallagher]

Thanks for that; I have Tomcat 4.0 running but I'll install 3.3 with mod_jk,
it seems to be more of a standard.

If you're just messing around you can edit server.xml in the conf dir to
specify port 80 and get tomcat to serve http on port 80. Normal way is to
use mod_jk (or shiny new mod_webapp if using tomcat 4 + apache) to get
tomcat to handle the servlets, and your web server to handle the rest.

Plenty of docs on jakarta.apache.org

mod_jk is the standard way Apache talks to java things. ajp12 is protocol
version 1.2, ajp13 is 1.3 etc
