Yesterday, I upgraded our dev environment to mod_jk 1.2.26, which couldn't
have been easier. It will probably take me a couple of days before I can
get this done in production, though.
I terminate all HTTPS requests before they get to the web server, so from
what you have described, it is probably safe to disable the APR connector.
How do I disable it, though? I will look into disabling this after I have
updated mod_jk in production.
Here's the full stack trace for that exception, displayed in my Tomcat logs:
