As of Apache 1.3.23 I think, Apache supports HTTP/1.1 compliance in it's mod_proxy mechanism, meaning it can take advantage of persistent connections. That goes for the 2.x series of Apache as well.
Using Apache 1.3.26, JBoss 2.4.4 and several different JSP/Servlet engines (Tomcat 3.2.4, Jetty 3.0,3.1, and Resin 2.0.5) I performed many load tests using LoadRunner against the above configurations. However, for each scenario, I tested once using mod_jk w/ ajp13 connector and a second time using mod_rewrite and mod_proxy passing off to the http listener of whatever jsp/servlet engine that was running. In _every_ example, the use of mod_rewrite and mod_proxy together improved performance over using mod_jk/ajp13. And this is in an application that uses Struts heavily. I am currently setting up a configuration with Tomcat 4.0.3 so I can try testing with mod_webapp and see how it performs. I then found even better performance on Linux, by using the TUX kernel web server in place of Apache and passing on all non-static requests on to the specific jsp/servlet container being used at the time. As a result, I would have to say that my testing reveals that using the latest Apaches with mod_proxy will out perform the mod_jk scenarios. Thanks, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas T.

I was under the impression it (Jetty) would work with mod_jk and Apache 1.3. J.
