How to setup java web architecture on hosting slice/dedicated server?

I want to build web app开发者_JAVA百科lication that is based on java technology (tomcat ) Can I get please suggestions on how to set up the servers (apache – mod_jk – tomcat ? ) And what are the right frameworks to use or not . For memory and ease of work from the development side ( to use plain jsp or mvc frame works? )

Although you didn't ask for alternatives to tomcat, if you are starting to look into web development you should have a look at Caucho's Resin. I find it is a better alternative than tomcat and makes it very easy to setup a system for test and development. It is completely built in Java and the open source version is free.

From development point of view always use an IDE such as Eclipse or Netbeans, makes the job easier n much faster. Here's a nice tutorial to get you started on developing web applications on Eclipse with Tomact integration - WTP Tutorials
