[opencms-dev] Apache httpd in front of Tomcat in 2010, yes or no?

[Yves Glodt]

Regarding the performance, ti should be possible to have tomcat also deliver
the exported images and css directly from the rfs, without querying the DB
for each of these. I guess it's s matter of urlrewrite-setup (how to treat
/export manily)... ?
