This tries to solve the 'egg and chicken' config problem, and to fix/enable some other things.
I want to add a second handler in mod_jk, similar with the 'status' for apache, mod_jserv, etc. ( same security issues - i.e. users will need access control, to use it, etc ). The most important feature ( for now ) will be the handling of 'ping', where mod_jk will connect to any worker it knows about and send a ping message. Whenever tomcat starts, the ajp connector ( if configured to ) will access this control uri - Apache will then reconnect to it and update it's info. ( apache does try to connect to workers when it starts, but it is possible that tomcat was down ). It will also update it's up/down state for workers that were marked as down as result of connection failure. This will also alow user to add/remove application in a 'lb' environment in a nice and clean manner. The handler will report the status of it's workers as result ( in simple XHTML format, nothing fancy ). Opinions ?
