Hi.
JRun ships with a native connector for apache, iis, etc...

We need to implement much of the same functionality that this connector
provides.  We need to pass requests to disparate JRun application servers.

Before we pass the request to a specific JRun application server instance
(which one is determined via url prefix), we need to do some authorization
checks.  This will probably be a conversation with a Stateful session bean
that represents the user's identity on what I call an "identity server".
The identity server is an ejb component that interfaces to an ldap
repository.

Because we are talking to an EJB, I want to write the connector in Java.

I realize we will probably have to write a different connector for each type
of application server we want to interface with...

I was hoping someone (maybe even allaire) would have the beginnings of this.
I think for speed it would be important to talk to JRun via it's proxy
services.

Apache web server ->  JRun Connector (mod_jrun)  -> JRun Servlet Container
->  Custom Servlet that acts like JRun's connector and proxy's
requests/responses to the different JRun instances.

Thanks...  This is really my idea, so I would appreciate feedback (positive
or negative) about this.

Phillip
