Chris, Thanks for taking the time to answer these. This information is very useful. I'll express more thanks with further questions.

Is there any particular reason why no one is using it? It seems that with large loads of http requests and responses the in-process interface is ideal. My assumption is that the jni worker not being used anymore has something to do with apache not having good if any multi-threaded handling for modules at the time. However, with the advent of apache2's MPM worker tomcat's design (multiple threads for multiple requests) should fit like a glove. Does this make sense? Or am I am I drawing up a neat fantasy rather than a plausible story? > That's because the JNI options are not applicable to new versions. Is there a way to compare how tomcat would run in-process with apache2 MPM? Do you know of any benchmarks in this direction? m --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
