CAS 3.3 on Tomcat 5.5

[Matthew Jones]

Is there any compelling reason to (or not to) run Apache in front of 
Tomcat5.5 when we are dedicating a (virtual) server to run CAS? The 
Tomcat documentation extols the virtues of Tomcat's raw performance 
whereas I have seen other reports to the contrary. I am using OpenLDAP 
and the LDAP authentication configuration in CAS 3.3 and really just 
want to do as little as possible to have CAS up and running.

CAS is now hosted on Tomcat5.5 running CentOS and the plan was to put 
Apache in front of it to handle the SSL connection but is there really 
any advantage to doing this? If there's no compelling reason to do so, I 
am inclined to stick with just using Tomcat given that I have 
(eventually) managed to get it to work with our certificate infrastructure.

Thanks
