    I am a newbie in apache and Tomcat world.

    My application can run in TOMCAT without install apache. ( My application test run in window )

    Then why apache exist?

    Tomcat is a different server, specifically for Java applications. Your application, it sounds like, is most likely a Java servlet?

    Yup...
    Normally what apache can do, Tomcat also can do it...

    Why Apache still exist?

    Personally, if everything else was the same (it never is, but bear with me), I wouldn't install Tomcat on any of my servers if I didn't need the Java servlet support. For the same reason that I don't install Ruby on Rails on my PHP servers. If you don't need the added functionality, configuration, etc- why install it?

    Hi cpace1983,

    Now I still using http://localhost:8080/projectname/ for surfing. I pretty sure this is Tomcat url ( not apache url )

    By the way, how to determine that we are surfing using Apache url or tomcat url?

    How to enforce the server is surfing apache url but not tomcat?


    Thanks
