Why not implemented such feature in mod_jk (extending ajp13 to ajp14 with
news commands ?)

I'm sorry to say that this stuff may be added to mod_jk. Still the
syndrom of the wheel.

Sorry but mod_jk as at minima 3 commiters (Dan, Costin and I) ;)
And many users as provided some patches.
Let me resume :
mod_jk :
functionnal connector, load-balancing, TC 3.2 and 3.3 compatibility
mod_webapp :
connector (with bug in cookies -> no session possibles), no load-balancing,
strictly restrited to 4.x
I've reported the cookie problem at least 2 times but still no answer :
http://w4.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2000/Dec/msg01064.html
http://w4.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2001/Jan/msg00204.html
The pragmatic approach will to add mod_webapp stuff (related to 2.3) to
mod_jk, eventually
by deriving ajp13 to ajp14. Adding two-ways exchange may be a real need for
centralized
admin (apache admin from tomcat or tomcat from apache)
I didn't remember there was a vote or poll on mod_jk/mod_webapp ?-) (No
polemic)
A+
