Hello all We are planning on using a cluster of Tomcat instances behind an Apache server, load balanced with the JK connector. Everything is pretty standard except: (a) we'd like to turn OFF and ON the traffic coming into the Tomcat instances based on certain conditions. Plus we'd like to turn ON and OFF *programmatically*, i.e. the Tomcat instance notifies the Apache (JK) to START and STOP sending traffic as conditions change
(b) To reiterate again, the key thing is that we'd like to notify *programmatically* from the Tomcat to the Apache JK. We've looked at the JK connector docs http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/config/workers.html The attribute called "disabled" seems to do exactly that, but it is set in the workers.properties file and is read during startup of the Apache. Is there a way to modify this attribute during runtime, with an API-like access?
