Fronting glassfish with apache
I am starting to run glassfish for a couple of projects. it does feel more professional of a project than tomcat, but that may just be my years of frustration with xml parsers.
Glassfish v3 now has AJP support available, so all you have to do enable it (explained here), and configure your apache server to proxy those requests to the AJP port that you have.
