After searching around on http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org, from what I can tell, there appears to be a loose consensus that mod_jk and mod_jk2 have become too complex and unwieldy code-wise for anyone to be bothered troubleshooting various issues surrounding them.
After more digging on http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org, I found some discussions regarding an enhanced mod_proxy, testing, and results versus mod_jk: http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg61525.html I can't tell from what I've found thus far how stable people consider this to be (the ones that I've seen were from around August 2004). Session stickiness *may* be supported. Also I'm not sure yet on where it stands with respect to the Apache 2.0 branch, backport-wise (initial work seems to have been done on the 2.1 branch). More digging is required on this. :-( With my own testing thus far for mod_jk versus mod_jk2, I can't tell any difference speed-wise/flakiness-wise between them. What does concern me more is what appears to be a memory leak by Apache when running with either module enabled. I need to do more testing there as well. :-( Small bonus prize: some notes on using mod_proxy with mod_rewrite to redirect requests can be found at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/balancer-howto.html#Using%20Apache%202%20with%20mod_proxy%20and%20mod_rewrite http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LoadBalancingWithModProxy http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/ApacheModProxy Regards, Joel View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3854997#3854997 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3854997 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
