Kevin, One thing which I think would be useful (which I wanted to do myself, but don't think I'll have time to do), would be to write an ajp13 connector for TC 4. This would allow TC 4 users to use mod_jk as their plugin (which supports iPlanet and IIS). If you are interested in doing some development, I think that would be an excellent contribution. Steps: - Take a look through the Ajp13 doc in the 3.3 branch (src/doc/AJPv13.html) -- this explains how the protocol works. - Review the ajp13 connector code in 3.3 (share/org/apache/tomcat/modules/server/Ajp13.java and Ajp13Interceptor.java). - Adapt that code to the TC 4 codebase (basing on HttpConnector, or WarpConnector, possibly). Wins: connect to multiple servers (including netscape and iis), load balancing, debugged C code. Losses: painful to configure Although I don't have time to write this code myself, I can contribute some help (I understand the 3.3 ajp13 code pretty thoroughly). -Dan > Kevin Seguin wrote: > > i want to move from tomcat 3.x to tomcat 4. i absolutely must be able to > use tomcat 4 with netscape/iplanet and microsoft (iis) web servers. as > near as i can tell, the only connector that will be available in the > foreseeable future is for apache 1.3. is this true? > > i have come across very little (almost no) information regarding this new > webapp lib (which appears to be undergoing some significant change > recently) and the warp thing... does *anybody* have anything to share?? > i'm willing to help out with connector development, or even write my own > connectors... if i could only figure out where to start... -- Dan Milstein // [EMAIL PROTECTED]
