mod_jk seems to be the most stable at this point in time. mod_webapp is OK, but it does not distinguish between static and dynamic content. If you're using apache, the goal would be to have apache serve static content and tomcat serve servlet and JSP content. Right now, mod_webapp sends ALL content to tomcat, making apache redundant. This may change in the future.
I haven't been working with mod_jk2, so I can't help you there.

I searched the list archives, but I'm still not clear on this, so I thought I'd ask. I'm going to be using Tomcat 4.0.x with Apache, and I'm trying to decide which connector to use. I found installing Tomcat 4.0.x itself quite straightforward, the documenation for that was sufficient. But it's been a much tougher go regarding the connectors. This is going to be for a production environment that sometimes sees high loads (e.g. 100+ concurrent users), so performance and robustness is a concern. We're upgrading from Tomcat 3.2.X and mod_jserv. The platform is AIX, and I couldn't find AIX binaries on the jakarta site, so looks like I'm going to have to compile from source. I thought the choice was between mod_jk and mod_webapp, but when I downloaded the jakarta-tomcat-connectors source and looked through it, there's a lot of other stuff in there. (I'm not sure I even want to ask what coyote is :-). I've also heard about mod_jk2, but there wasn't anything separate in that distribution (perhaps the mod_jk there is itself mod_jk2). mod_webapp looks very straightforward to use, but I read some comments on it from several months back that suggested it might not be quite ready for prime time. Any info on whether that's still the case would also be appreciated. Thanks!
