Re: tomcat connector

Hi Bill, You sent this a while back, and I have to pick it up again. Would you be able to explain how this would all hook together - are you saying that Apache could load-balance the request (non-HTTP) and our extension of JkHandler could handle the request? cheers, David - Original

Session Affinity after Graceful Apache restart? [was Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?]

Hi, I've been asking some more questions about restarts on the Apache list, and was redirected back here... Does anyone know (David, Mladen?) what will happen to session affinity is this situation? ie with Apache in front of several tomcats using mod_jk, when Apache is restarted gracefully

Re: Session Affinity after Graceful Apache restart? [was Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?]

First of all graceful restart will not work on Windows for any busy server. I suggest that you move to some unix/linux version. Errr...could you explain why? I was told on the Apache list that it does work on Windows...what am I missing? cheers, David

Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?

Hi David, That sounds perfectbut I've got to work on Windows too. Do you know if there's a way to do it on Win? thanks! David |-+ | | David Rees | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | m

Graceful restart on Windows [was Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?]

After some more digging, it *appears* that apache -k restart WILL do a graceful restart of Apache2 on Windoze. Can anyone confirm this please? And are there any gotcha's to watch out for? Can someone explain exactly how this works? eg if I am in the middle of a chunk (or series) of work with

Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?

Is this still true if we were to define extra workers that are marked as disabled at startup? Could we then point them to any new servers as they are added and enable them without a restart? I know it's not very clean, but would it work? We'd *really* like to find a way around having to force

mod_jk status docs?

Hi, Are there any docs for the status worker? I'm struggling to figure out what it can do, and make it do it! Any pointers? cheers! David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail:

Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?

Hi, Is there any way in the current implementatio to **add** a new worker (for a new Tomcat instance) dynamically? Using mod_jk status? Another way? cheers, David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For

Re: Adding working dynamically with mod_jk status?

Hi Mladen, Sure...we have a system that uses multiple Tomcats (with Apache/mod_jk upfront, of course). We would like to make it easy for the user to add another server to the mix. Hence, we'd like to add the new worker to the Apache config programmatically (we'd like to be able to delete them

Re: Custom load balancing algorithm and mod_jk???

Hi, Thanks very much for the reply. Ok, how is it possible? What would we need to extend / where would we plug it in? Yes, we'd like to balance on CPU usage of tomcat servers that Apache is load balancing. Or, even, by having each tomcat app communicate with the balancer to tell it how busy

Thanks for the reply, Jim... So, do you know of any other solutions out there? Surely there are many other people who have been faced with a similar problem? thanks, David |-+ | | Jim Jagielski| | | [EMAIL

Re: Custom load balancing algorithm and mod_jk???

Hi Mladen, That sounds feasible...but I have no idea how to do that!! Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? - how do we create custom headers? Where? - how do we get access to the ajp demarshaling? Sorry for the ignorance! I haven't done any extending of tomcat before...

Re: Custom load balancing algorithm and mod_jk???

Then I wish you all the luck :). Thanks! It seems a little daunting! So, exploring other possibilities before I undertake it... Is there any way to just make a call and update the load factors on the fly? Or does the JMX additions provide any way to update things dynamically? Many thanks,

Re: Custom load balancing algorithm and mod_jk???

ok...do you know if this can be done programmatically, rather than through the web page? Also, is there a timeframe for mod_jk 1.2.9? That sounds perfect if it can be done programmatically there. We would probably wait for that to be released... thanks!! David

Custom load balancing algorithm and mod_jk???

Hi, We need to use Apache to load balance a set of Tomcat servers. However, we need to use a custom load-balancing algorithm, based on the usage of those servers. Is this possible with mod_jk? Would it be easy to extend it? Any other suggestions? Many thanks, David

JspC recompiles unchanged files

Hello, Does anyone know why JspC pre-compiles all jsp's, even if they have not changed? I am using Ant to pre-compile and compile my jsps, and it is frustrating that they are ALL pre-compiled every time. Is this intended behaviour or a bug? Many thanks, Dave

JspC output?

Whilst on the subject of JspC...does anyone know why no output is obtained when you run it from the command line? I am excecuting java org.apache.jasper.JspC ... and I never get any output! Again, is this a bug, or intended behaviour?! Many thanks, Dave

welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?

Hi. I posted this to the tomcat user group, with no joy. I am beginning to suspect this is a bug - is it intended behaviour that if jsp's are pre-compiled you cannot use them as a welcome page? Seems very strange to me if it is! Thanks, Dave -- Forwarded by David
