Hello Greg
Glad you wrote this. I also found mod_proxy simple to set up and
versatile (can also be used with a package such as mod_proxy_html
- http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/ - for even greater
flexibility.)
According to a benchmark I saw (sorry, can't remember where)
the specialized connectors such as mod_jk are about
1.5 times the speed of mod_proxy. This speed differential may
be a consequential performance factor for some, but for our needs,
the simplicity of mod_proxy usage is a major factor.

I am seeing more and more blog entries and articles suggesting using
mod_proxy_ajp over mod_jk.
I have two questions on this subject:
Can someone from this list please provide some practical examples and real
stories on why should one use mod_proxy over mod_jk?
Is mod_proxy meant as a future replacement for mod_jk (since they are both
oficially hosted by Apache team and since mod_proxy is built into
Apache 2.2web server)?
Dear Edmon,
I think you've answered your own question ... mod_proxy is built into
Apache 2.2. I was about to use mod_jk and thanks to Gael who gave (the longer
and more complex) instructions for mod_jk but explained that the functionality
I was after was provided by mod_proxy and built into Apache 2.2s; so, I just
installed Apache 2.2 ... setting up the proxy worked first go just following
the easy instructions in the docs. I can't say whether it's worth switching
if you already have a working mod_jk installation. All I can say is
setting up the proxy port for tomcat with mod_proxy was painless.
Hope that's of some help.
Regards,
Greg Gamble
