It has always been debated if a reverse-proxy kind of thing should be used.
Which backend service will be used by the RESTful application?
Does using a reverse-proxy but not changing the application-layer protocol
make sense? (use ajp3 and not http from RP to GF)
Can a reverse-proxy minimize the risk of a RESTful call?
Is the RP machine really safe? (f.e. completely read-only and rebooted
every hours?)
How will you deploy GF (f.e. within a 'chroot' env or Solaris Zone)
to be continued ...
