They are very easy to build on Linux. Since there are so many distributions we currently do not provide "official" binaries. > 2.

I added TC 7 to the docs right now. That was an oversight. mod_jk and AJP was supported there from day 1 (as will TC 8 be once it gets released). Note that the jk2 docs are in the doc-archive. jk2 is a variant that is out of support since many years. Only use mod_jk, not mod_jk2. > The Tomcat 7 doc mentions JK 1.2.x though > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/ajp.html > > 3.

I added a hint to the docs. It's on the same page futher down in the seciotns starting with "Building mod_jk". > 4. Can the documentation pages have timestamp of 'last modified'? Not really. The docs published on the web site always belong to the latest mod_jk release, currently version 1.2.37. The starting page http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ contains the date of the release prominently. The official repository for the docs sources is http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/jk/trunk/xdocs/ or when using svn directly http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/trunk/xdocs/ There you can always check the latest dates and the full change history. The changes I applied right now based on your advice are http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=r1507026 Since they are not critical they will be pushed to the public web site once we release version 1.2.38. Thanks for haring your observations.
