java statistics

Earlier 2005 I had the need to install web statistics for Tomcat web servers. The reason might be obvious: XMLPortal runs on JSP/Servlet containers. Usually, Java hosting plans use Apache server to generate access logs and then redirect requests to Tomcat. This runs pretty well, but once a hosting provider offers to improve your account by sending requests directly to Tomcat, you can't say no. And I said yes. Soon I start missing things, like web statistics. This is how, step by step, I dealt with it. Today I have splendid AWStats on my web site!
