<div>Hi Balz<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your answer. <br>
So you use yanel without any proxy, right?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<div>if I would really put a web server in front of the app
server (for static resource serving for example), I would 100%
choose NGINX (Engine-X) which is the fastes web server
nowadays: <a href="http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html" target="_blank">http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, my choice would be NGINX --> Tomcat and not HTTPD
--> Tomcat</div>
<div><br>

just read this: <a href="http://www.mulesoft.com/tcat/tomcat-performance" target="_blank">http://www.mulesoft.com/tcat/tomcat-performance</a><br>
and what really catch my attention was following

<br>
As far as i know deployment yanel with Apache HTTPD to
proxy your requests is the recommended way in the yanel
documentation.<br>
Any experience on that?<br>
What is actually the reason to use Apache HTTPD?<br>
<br>
Any hint is warmly welcome.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
