What's the difference in the two...generally speaking,
between the Apache server and Tomcat ?

After putting an example up yesterday, I think my confusion comes
with all those AIX terms I see used. I had to start the LDAP server
but I had no idea why I needed to do that. That is chock full of very
unfamilar terms. The InfoCenter is a very poor excuse for a good set of
books on the subject.

After a great deal of reading and experiments, I finally got the Apache
server running and the IBM example "Phone Directory" up and going.

Waaaay too much tweaking and twisting to get something that simple
up and going.

Did I lean anything ...probably.

I'm going to pick on your semantics a little - using Tomcat, you DO have a web server - it is just built into Tomcat. It is fairly automatic to set up and is a fine solution for lighter weight kinds of things, IIRC. And you can also tie in to Apache, etc. I'm not sure at what point one turns away from the internal web server and uses an external one. Does WAS also have an internal web server?
