once I got jk2 build to work... I remember having to create dirs and copy files by hand... []s Emerson

Sad but true. Why DON'T the ant build files work? Did someone get lazy? Is JK2 part of a source tree that we're only getting a portion of when we download the source tarball?
Great, let's use JK2....
My experience:
<rant-mode>
tar -xvzf jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-src-current.tar.gz cd jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src/
less README.txt -> gibberish, doesn't help me much less RELEASE-NOTES.txt
------------------------------ Tomcat Connectors Version @VERSION@ Release Notes
This version matches the version included with tomcat-5.0.2, and supports tomcat 3.3, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0. Bugs and issues will be tracked with tomcat5 - this file will list only issues related with older versions. ------------------------------
5.0.2??? my confidence is growing.
ls doc/* doc/install_tomcat33.html doc/install_tomcat40.html doc/install_tomcat41.html
Hmmm, I want to install it for tomcat 5.0.19. Ok, I'll read the most current (install_tomcat41.html). Try it, it's quite amusing... Not helpful.
ant
------------------------------------ Buildfile: build.xml
build:
BUILD FAILED file:/data/michiel/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src/build.xml:45: Basedir /data/michiel/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src/util does not exist
Total time: 1 second --------------------------------------
Ok, it can't find it's own files.... Great....
cd jk
See if this works.....
ant
-------------------------------------- Buildfile: build.xml
detect: [echo] -------- jakarta-tomcat-connectors --------
prepare:
BUILD FAILED file:/data/michiel/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src/jk/build.xml:142: Warning: Could not find file /data/michiel/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src/coyote/build/lib/tomcat-coyote.jar to copy.
Total time: 1 second --------------------------------------
lets read the README.txt
blablabla Tomcat 4.1. No mention of Tomcat 5.x
This feels like abandoned alpha software all the way, there is NO WAY I'm putting this on a production machine.
</rant-mode>
Summary: if you package and distribute software like this, how on earth do you expect your users to build, let alone use it?
Cheers,
Michiel
P.S. Compare this to the Tomcat release on UNIX:
tar xvzf jakarta-tomcat-xxx.tgz cd jakarta-tomcat-xxx bin/startup.sh
it works....

Jk vs jk2. JK is dead STOP USING IT. JK2 all the way!! (sorry, jk2 is the prefered way to link apache2 to tomcat[45])
I would suggest using tomcat 4 for now if you are going immediately into a production environment where you have to abide by a server level agreement. Otherwise use tomcat 5. Tomcat 5 is listed as stable but seems a bit shakey right now with the bugs that keep popping up.
There is no reason that I know of not to use Apache2.
You will be using worker2.properties.
Since I know nothing about JK I can't comment on the rest.

Can someone give me an advice which way to go WRT to using a tomcat/apache combo on a Unix (not Linux) system?
There are so many options, jk, jk2, tomcat 3-4-5, apache 1.3, apache2. worker.properties worker2.properties, jk2.properties in tomcat/conf, mod_jk.conf in etc/apache, mod_jk, mod_jk2.
Then I see constructs in brackets [] in worker.properties and without these. What is workers.host=jsp-hostname? Is it an IP host? Or is it some placeholder which must be in workers.list?
