If you are starting from scratch, I would recommend using mod_proxy for your proxying with httpd. It comes pre-built with whatever binary httpd distribution you got, and is arguably easier to configure. You can even use either HTTP or AJP as the protocol to connect httpd - -> Tomcat. I would recommend mod_proxy_http just because it's basically the simplest to configure. If you want to use TLS and get the certificate information over to Tomcat/TomEE, it's a bit easier to do with AJP, but not impossible with HTTP. I was just assuming you knew you wanted mod_jk and were looking for a binary. Apologies for the confusion. httpd + Tomcat/TomEE is quite easy to get set up with mod_proxy_http. Simply: 1. Configure Tomcat/TomEE as usual, with an HTTP connector listening on some port (probably 8080 is already being used if you have the default configuration). 2. Enable mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp in httpd. You may also want mod_proxy_balancer if you have multiple Tomcat/TomEE nodes you want to use for load-balancing. 3. Configure a <Proxy> directive in your httpd configuration that looks something like this: ProxyPass /webappname/ http://tomcathost:8080/webappname/ ProxyPassReverse /webappname/ http://tomcathost:8080/webappname/ Bounce httpd and hit http://httpdhost/webappname/index.jsp and your request should go through the reverse-proxy (that's httpd) through to the Tomcat/TomEE node. The "ProxyPassReverse" will re-write certain response HTTP header fields as they are passed-back to the client, so that the client will see the "outside" view of the back-end server, instead of the "inside view" -- that is, the client will see http://httpdhost/ as the base URL instead of http://tomcathost:8080/ as the base URL. Write back with any questions or problems.
