Re: WARP (Apache<->Tomcat)

[Lajos Moczar]

Neal -

Certainly on Windows it is. But on Linux as well, I've heard people complain about things like connectivity breaking after certain periods of time. I vaguely remember having something similar happen, but at the moment I can't recall what the exact issue was. Let me ask - is there a particular reason why you want webapp instead of jk? If you are using it for production, as I said before, jk simply has had more of a life and has had more bugs worked out of it. Consequently it is super stable. My own sites stay up for months on end with no problems. I have one site that has been continuously up for almost a year using jk.

Regards,

Lajos

Is it known to be buggy on Linux or just Windows?  It sounds like its fine
and even preferred according to some docs when using Linux/Apache 1.3.
Also, I discussed load balancing and it sounds like we're using hardware
load balancer so each instance of Apache will have a 1:1 map to its own
Tomcat instance.

In this case, is using WARP for production purposes a bad idea?

Thanks.
Neal

One more point is that webapp is just plain buggy, while tried-and-true
mod_jk is quite reliable. If you are hosting anything
production-quality, I'd go with mod_jk every time.

For anyone interested I just confirmed via a book I bought from Borders

that

WARP does not support Load balancing.  So, for the archives ... WARP (Via
the WebApp module) does not support:

1. Load balancing
2. Apache 2.0 (at least with Windows)

And contrary to the Apache's own WebApp module site, Windows *IS*

supported

for 1.3.27 usage ... and its downloadable from the site.  Man, Apache

should

really update this documentation ... I just waisted the majorty of a day
figuring this stuff out (anyone from apache listening out there??).  ;-)

Well, I re-installed an older version of Apache (1.3.27) and WARP via
mod_webApp seems to work fine now....and that was on Windows!  So, I guess
the compatability issue was with Apache 2.0.  Hmm.  That sucks.

By the way, it was mentioned on this thread that mod_jk supports load
balancing.  Is that to say that WARP won't work in a multiple-host
scenario?!?!   :(

Thanks
Neal

Really?!?!

But I downloaded it from the win32 archives on the apache site

(http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/archives/v4.0.1/bin/win

32/).  It even came with the libapr.dll - the library file compile as a
windows DLL.  Perhaps its just not compatible with Apache 2?

This is totally screwey!

Does WARP work on Windows or not?!?!

My understanding is "not".
