Well said, and I agree 100%. I spent 8 business days trying to get Apache 2 with Tomcat 4 working, both with mod_webapp and mod_jk, before giving up and going back to Apache 1.3. Granted, I am not experienced with tomcat, which may account for some of the delay, but your comments are right on the money.
All due respect to the developers, but the idea that Apache 2, Tomcat 4, and the connectors are all separate projects, with little or no coordination (as far as I can tell) is really disappointing. To me, that seems like a big mistake.

I think everyone who uses Tomcat should back off using Apache2 until all the connectors and more so the documentation get beyond pre-alpha state. I'm a big fan of Apache and Tomcat, but I'm afraid the current state of the connectors SUCKS. I've held my tongue from writing this email for over a month, but now I can't help it. I've wasted days trying to get this working myself, and I've downgraded back to apache 1 again... Given that Apache Tomcat is the reference Servlet Implementation, I think that something needs to be done soon. You basically can't use it with the world's most popular web server. It seems to me that there is very little co-ordination between the separate Apache, Tomcat and Apache-Tomcat connectors projects. Just take a look under http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/ - apart from coyote, there is rather a sad dearth of content. I'm very sorry to have written this message which I'm sure will offend some very hard working people. I don't want to offend anyone, but I think someone needs to say this. The Apache organisation has set and achieved some very high standards, and this area is significantly below par. Sorry.
