A big +1

This will also reduce the pressure on making changes in the "stable" code.
If a bug is found in the connector - we can just make a new release of the
connector ( both sides ), without a need to make a dot.dot release of 
tomcat.

( tomcat 3.3 should still include the current mod_jk, with some of the
fixes that are "safe" and/or proven in the new potential module )


BTW, if the "commons" project is aproved, than this can
be a part of the "sandbox"/"agora" - and it doesn't require any special
aproval from PMC or other projects ( only a vote on tomcat-dev).



 I saw at least 4 potentials commiters working on it :
 
 - Dan Milstein, our resident hacker/expert of mod_jk.
 - Keith Wannamaker, webdav specialist
 - Pier P. Fumagalli, mod_jserv and mod_webapp father
 - I, Henri Gomez, mod_jk and adaptation to Apache 2.0 

I can help with some performance and a bit in the C side.

 I for one would like to see mod_webapp

Same for me - the automatic configuration is great for most users. 

Having this "common" project would be great because it'll allow the
development of a connector that combines the best features of mod_jk and
mod_webapp. 

Of course, this depends on having the "commons" aproved and started in a
reasonable time, and on aproval from tomcat-dev people to share the
connector, and of course on interest from Pier ( who is the main author
of mod_webapp ) and Dan and the other people who maintain mod_jk.
 
BTW, the protocol could be used for other projects that need to connect to
apache ( and in many ways it belongs more to httpd then tomcat ).

( I would guess mod_perl and mod_php could also benefit from the load
balancing features )

 Subject: [PROPOSAL] The Commons - web connector
 
 
 Hi to all,
 
 What about a new sub-project, web connector, where all
 the developpement on mod_jserv and mod_jk 
 (and why not mod_webapp) could live.
 
 Apache 1.3 and 2.0 are allready supported by mod_jk but also
 IIS, AOL, and NES (iPlanet) even JNI.
 
 Tomcat's 3.x and 4.x provide interfaces (modules,
 interceptor or whatever) that these connectors will implement :)
 
 A project which could be in The Commons even if there is 
 still C code inside but also many java part (TC mod/interceptor).
 
 We could (must) see Tomcat 4.x use mod_jk or Tomcat 3.x use
 mod_webapp from Apache 2.0...
