Those new to Tomcat will not know what a "connector" is. I presume it's the network protocol used to listen and respond to external requests... For HTTP it is suggested to use AJP clustering as performance is higher than that of mod_proxy. For AJP it talks of use in a single-server environment and how it's worse than that of HTTP, then for clustering to use AJP. It then says to use JK or mod_proxy with AJP. As the reader, I have no idea where to sit. First mod_proxy can be used but AJP ought to be for performance, yet you can use mod_proxy with AJP. I'm... Puzzled. Since I've not dealt with this beyond getting Apache to mod_proxy to the default Tomcat port 8080 before I'm in no position to clean this up I'm afraid but it looks like clarity is needed. Just my opinion. James
