(newbie q) Connector vs running standalone Tomcat as root 2004-05-06 - By Barnet Wagman
Back
I'd like to hear people's opinions on the best way to have Tomcat
accessible via standard ports (80 and 443).
As I understand it, under Linux (and other unixes), ports < 1000 must be
run as root. I've also read that there are some difficulties running
Tomcat as root. I gather that the alternative is to run Tomcat via a
connector from Apache.
I have no particular need to run Apache - nearly everything on the site
I'm putting together requires Tomcat. Is running Tomcat as a root
process really impossible and/or problematic (under Linux)? Are there
any other downsides to running Tomcat as a standalone server?
Thanks
