JK2 ISAPI registry settings serverRoot required

           Summary: JK2 ISAPI registry settings serverRoot required
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Native:JK
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When installing JK2 on the Webserver, it is documented that the following 
registry entry is mandatory:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi 
Redirector\2.0\serverRoot"

"...Add a string value with the name serverRoot and a value which is a full 
path to your Tomcat installation (for example c:\jakarta-tomcat ) ..."

The code proofs this and, even worse, when the entry is omitted, the JK-Filter 
seems up, doesn't write any log anywhere and is not working.

The Problem is, when the webserver and the Tomcat are on different machines 
and they are communicating via Sockets (AJP13), which is quite common for 
large, clustered environments, there IS NO tomcat on the webserver-side, so 
not path can be entered there.
Setting this key to any crap string value will cure the problem.
This key really shouldn't be mandatory.
Also the documentation should at least mention that there are other setup 
enviros than inprocess-mode and TC/Webserver on same machine, or, even better, 
have an extra section for that.

kind regards...
