Hi Laurie,
I'm totally against this idea. It sucks. Why ?
Well, I started using JServ in a real life project. The needs where :
stability, performance, scalability, reliability.
The first thing I noticed was that JServ is a TCP server. The first
thing I did was to distribute my load beween 2 machines.
The second thing I noticed was that 2 Apache servers were able to share
the same JServ.
The 3rd thing was that it was easy to load-balance the load using
nothing else than mod_rewrite from RSE.
The 4th was that someone had the same problem and we started working on
the built-in load_balancing features.
So, you can now (described in :
http://java.apache.org/jserv/howto.load-balancing.html) have N Apache
using M JServ.
As every JServ doesn't have to be on the same machine as Apache, and
that JServ doesn't have to be dedicated to one Apache,
it is not possible to share one configuration file, is it ?
Hope this convinces.
Jean-Luc
