performance question

[Frédéric de la Goublaye]

Hi,

I used FreeBSD 6.0.

I need to use Tomcat to serve jsp servlet and database.
I choose sqlite because the data will also
be accessible via a local C++ application on the user computer.

I wonder what is the fastest solution :
- use Tomcat alone on port 80
- use Tomcat with Apache22

What is the best combination for using Tomcat ?
Alone or with Apache ?

I know that not using Apache may avoid me from using all nice PHP solutions 
like phpBB and so on ... also PHP5 can used sqlite

but I still wonder what is the fastest solution.

Thanks for help

Frédéric
