Apache2+mod_jk+Tomcat Vs Apache2+Orionserver

YEL

Hello everyone

Im trying since a couple of days to find out which combination of engines is the best one for developing Systems serving both static cotenants and dynamic websites in JSP :
The main goal is having Apache as a front server and the JSP container as Plug-in
For apache to let it handles JSP requests!
I have found many sites which provide Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat (A.M.T) and also found many site which provides Apache + Orion server (A.O.)
In the first case of A.M.T the Configurations found was for apache 1.3.x + mod_jk + tomcat 4.1.x
And for the second case (A.O.)I only founds one tutorial on Orion server site which did not explains thing really and it supposed Orion server running on port 80 which is not a good idea since under 1024 ports can only be used by root
My question is for those who already do have some experience with both systems whether they can tell me which combination is the best comparing these point:

Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat (A.M.T)

Configuration:

Speed:

Stability:

Security:

Your own experience:

Apache + Orion server (A.O.)

Configuration:

Speed:

Stability:

Security:

Your own experience:

I will be glad if one you can also give me and people trying to get inside this a kind of step by step tutorial to configure one of the configurations using Apache2

thanx for any help
ps: sorry my poor english!

Hello

I`m running apache2, mod_jk1 and tomcat 4&5 on several production machines. No problems. Never heard about the orion server. So i can`t compare.
