RE: connector status in tomcat 4
Ok, another question then. Please, What is it that the connector has to be able to do? Is it sufficient if it simply can forward the HTTP request to tomcat or does it need to play around with it? I guess it must do something or the disscusion on ajp13/jk and warp/webapp wouldn't be. The web-server connector forward request to tomcat and add some information, like the SESSION-COOKIES. In return the tomcat add a var, jvmroute, which is used in load-balancing config to be sure that the same tomcat will serve the next queries for that session. The connector use a simple protocol, ajp12/13/14, to forward the request. You may imagine a web-connector forwarding the request using HTTP protocol, but this one is more complex to handle. // Erik -Original Message- From: kevin seguin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: connector status in tomcat 4 for example, in my case, currently all i care about is being able to forward requests based on uri from iis and netscape to tomcat. so, for me, ajp does what i need it to, while warp/webapp currently does not (no iis/netscape support yet). hence, i would pick ajp. now, i'm not saying one is better than the other. i'm just saying that one might be better than the other in certain circumstances, and now you have a choice.

Regards = List: tomcat-dev Subject: Tomcat 4.0 Milestone 4 From: Craig R. McClanahan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2000-11-01 0:09:41 [Download message RAW] Hey folks, I'm planning on cutting a fourth milestone of Tomcat 4.0 tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. This milestone will reflect all of the changes that occurred in the servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 specifications between public draft and proposed final draft (and there were a *bunch* of them), completion of the remaining new 2.3/1.2 functionality, and several bug fixes. This will be the last big push of spec-related functionality additions for Tomcat 4.0. Now, we can turn our attention more towards bug fixes and performance tuning. You can help in that process by downloading and playing with the Tomcat 4.0 milestone. I'd like to see us shake it out enough to be production quality by Christmas time. Besides bug fixing and tuning, I know of several pieces of functionality yet to be added that are being worked on, including: * Web connectors (using a new connector protocol called mod_warp that is aware of webapp configuration settings, so you will not have to configure things twice). * JNDI context support (like that used in J2EE servers) for the env-entry and resource-ref configuration parameters in the deployment descriptor. If you are interested in contributing to Tomcat 4.0, there is a wish list document in file catalina/STATUS.html in the jakarta-tomcat-4.0 source tree. Feel free to propose new ideas, or to volunteer to work on one of these. Craig McClanahan =

My question is what the status is on the apache connector in tomcat 4. I've been testing Jakarta 4 in standalone mode and is very pleased with it, but we can't run it like that once we release the system for all our students.. ;) There is actually 2 connectors for Apache Tomcat 4.0 : - warp/webapp : Developped specifically for TC 4.0 have autoconfig stuff but lack load-balancing or IIS/NES support - ajp13/jk : Available since TC 3.2, works with TC 3.3 and now with 4.0 (thanks to Kevin).

Miss the autoconfig stuff (will came in ajp14) but have load-balancing and IIS/NES support. er... the load-balancing doesn't work yet for tc 4 -- the java side of it hasn't been done yet. it shouldn't be too hard to do though :) i think it's just a matter of figuring out what to do with jvmRoute on the java side (set a cookie??).

connector status in tomcat 4
This summer I will be involved in a quite large project at our University aiming to create a web-based system for administrating and presenting course-information (and some other nifty features..). We will be using tomcat 4 for this and apache as the webserver. The final product will be released during the next semester (september-october). My question is what the status is on the apache connector in tomcat 4. I've been testing Jakarta 4 in standalone mode and is very pleased with it, but we can't run it like that once we release the system for all our students.. ;) Is the state of the connector good enough to start using or does it still need alot of development? In that case I would be interrested in joining the development on that part of tomcat. Who should I contact in this case? Another thing I was wondering; is if there is any date planned for the release of tomcat 4.0? I searched the archive, but didn't find anything mentioning that. You've probably seen this question hundreds of times, or I've missed something when searching.. :) regards Erik Hellman

The first thing to do, is check it out of the CVS and see if it compiles on your system, there is a readme file that details what you need... Please do it, and tell me how far you got (it's a good startpoint, indeed :) Pier
Re: connector status in tomcat 4
which connector are you talking about? the new warp/webapp stuff, or the ajp connector(s)? i don't know much about warp/webapp, but i do know the ajp13 connector for tomcat 4 is a work in progress. it's kind of in a holding pattern right now, waiting for some other things to happen. hopefully, at least by the end of the summer, the ajp13 (maybe even ajp14) connector for tomcat 4 will be in pretty good shape. -kevin.
