Re: Should I use mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp for my Apache2 to Tomcat5 connector on AIX ?

Does anyone have some good reason why I should use one over the other? Using mod_proxy_ajp we got problems with larger http-1.0-POST's: The connector is truncating the POST before receiving its size. FOR US this is a serious issue and we found no other workaround than changing to mod_proxy (http) to wrap port 80 to port 8080 (Tomcat's coyote-interface) which has other limitations (out.flush; hiding source IP-addresses). Beside this mod_proxy_ajp runs pretty well and is more simple to setup than mod_jk and for most applications it works fine. We are still testing mod_jk, so I cannot say if there are other arguments against mod_jk. Unfortunately CentOS' default-installation of Apache2 has no support for mod_jk, so we have to update manually. I estimate it's the same for AIX. We're running Tomcat-6 but I don't think that this makes any difference concerning your question.

Actually, given a free choice I'd use mod_proxy_http. Why? - httpd style config - SSL support if you need to encrypt the channel - more stable than mod_proxy_ajp (as is mod_jk) Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
