Mladen, you very modest, your Mod_jk is magic.
As an outside independent user, I think that with time the selection between
mod_proxy and mod_jk will make little difference from a pure geek
perspective.
I have tried both, and I did have problems bringing machines back up on
mod_proxy... it was probably solvable then, and or has been fixed
since then, but mod_jk was working so well, I didnt persue it further.
On mod_jk, I've made mistakes, pulled the wrong cable, bombed a machine,
things one shouldnt do, and nothing seems to happen, when the machine
comes back up, all is well.
I realize that I probably crashed a user session, and should use jkStatus
when taking a machine down, but mod_JK has proved to be very resilient to
abuse.
All I wanted to say is that, mod_jk is a tiny bit more difficult to learn,
but I've had nothing but good experiences with it.
Also, the development effort behind mod_jk, has Tomcat very much in mind...
I sleep better knowing that if I have a difficult question related to mod_jk
and tomcat, it will probably get a good answer. If I was using another
servlet container, I would probably go for mod_proxy, but never on tomcat.
I think Tomcat users are very fortunate to have someone designing Apache
modules with them specifically in mind... it cant get better than that.
Mladen, if you retire, elope, or die.... send me an email, then I might use
mod_proxy ;)

Yes as well as mod_proxy.
Which way is the better one?
It all depends on your topology and needs
Do you know of any other documents or information which can help me make
a decision which is the best way for me? Any idea?
Just my 2c

Note that those are my personal opinions, and may not reflect
the actual usage.
However during the past couple of months there is really
heavy effort for backporting some stuff to mod_proxy, so the
entire story might be very well revisited after 2.2.5 gets out
of the door.

Mladen
