Jk vs jk2. JK is dead STOP USING IT. JK2 all the way!! (sorry, jk2 is the prefered way to link apache2 to tomcat[45]) I would suggest using tomcat 4 for now if you are going immediately into a production environment where you have to abide by a server level agreement. Otherwise use tomcat 5.

Hi Michiel ! Cut the developers some slack, man ! Writing the software is difficult enough, if you need to do a buildfile, test it and document it, it can seem like a monstrous commitment. If you want instructions on getting it built, I just updated my Tomcat 5 document to cover jk2.0.4. The
