To see if APR could run on AS/400, you just need to download the Apache2.0alpha drop and build it. If the httpd could run properly than APR works on AS/400! I've take a look at APR and there is no reference to AS/400. There is nothing related to OS/400 in config.guess. AS/400 is a very

Since mod_jk is using just a few APR-like functions, the transition woulnd't be difficult - but it's important to do it at the right time. And IMHO that should come as a decision from tomcat-dev - I would feel very bad if Henri or Dan would decide to switch to APR without a serious discussion

The original intention for mod_jk was to use APR whenever it's ready. Gal wrote most of the "general" code trying to stay as close as possible to APR semantics. Since mod_jk is using just a few APR-like functions, the transition woulnd't be difficult - but it's important to do it at the right

Let's say, webapp needs to use 10% of APR, but that 10% represents 90% of its complexity (shmem, mutexes, I/O)... Even if it's not final when Tomcat 4 goes final, that shouldn't prevent us from using it... It's a good library, and why doing ourselves what others are already doing (and are far
