With this pace of fixing it would be nice to start having 3.2.1 beta releases soon. =:o) I am very interested on connector related fixes. The other thing I am interested is on what happens when Tomcat freezes. mod_jserv restarts JServ when these one freezes, but mod_jk does not look to provide such mechanism. This is a paste from the "mod_jk-howto" FAQ: Q. Whenever I restart Tomcat, Apache locks up! A. The Ajp13 protocol keeps an open socket between Tomcat and Apache. When you restart Tomcat, you need to restart Apache as well. Can't mod_jk recover from a Tomcat crash? I am not familiar with mod_jk but, if it helps, I could provide a Java sentinel to keep Tomcat running. When Tomcat freezes, it could also kill and restart Apache together with Tomcat... but that sounds quite overkill and disturbs Apache while this one is running ok. Isn't it possible to make mod_jk recover gracefuly from the loss of Tomcat and try to reconnect with a new instance of Tomcat aterwards? It _looks_ like mod_jserv did just that with JServ. Tomcat already froze on us on a test and JServ sometimes does it too (but it is restarted by mod_jserv). I would like to move to Tomcat but I need to have this extra safety layer. Again, I am willing to contribute a Java made portable sentinel but I know nothing about sockets programming in C. Can someone else comment on these issues?
