All I want is to set up a simple statically linked mod_jk and yet it is absurb to know that neither the documentation nor anyway in the web site such instruction/help is given. I meant it is just ridiculous to expect everyone to use tomcat with DSO option in apache, especially so when every web servers in my school is using statically linked library. It just doesn't make sense to convert all the web servers to DSO just because of mod_jk. Surely there is a better way, any one? I try searching thru' the mailing list archive and only found a handful of people providing some information pertaining to the above mentioned subject. But their examples are really OS specific and it is difficult to understand too. Can someone in the work group of tomcat, please reconsider to support such options. --- Jenson Goh Chong Leng [EMAIL PROTECTED] School Of Computing, National University of Singapore Tel : 8744359 IPPhone : 5593049 Fax : 7794580 Pager : 98023069 Room : S15 05-18
