In general should I use ajp whenever possible? Does it perform better
than http?
Yes in general, AJP is a packet oriented and binary protocol supported
by both Tomcat and Jetty. Usually binary formats perform better than
plain-text format (like HTTP).
Quote:
The *AJP Connector* element represents a *Connector* component that
communicates with a web connector via the |AJP| protocol. This is used
for cases where you wish to invisibly integrate Tomcat 4 into an
existing (or new) Apache installation, and you want Apache to handle
the static content contained in the web application, and/or utilize
Apache's SSL processing. In many application environments, this will
result in better overall performance than running your applications
under Tomcat stand-alone using the HTTP/1.1 Connector
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/http11.html>. However,
the only way to know for sure whether it will provide better
performance for *your* application is to try it both ways.
