Of course, different issues. For 'lb' you have an extra layer of scalability - you can add more workers to better handle the load. Assuming a normal case, with servlets doing something besides helloworld, the benefits for NBIO on lb will remain small. As I said, I'm +1 on NBIO ( and I love the new java.nio package ), not because of possible improvements on tomcat's performance but because it's cool and the right ( or better ) way to do io. > >Regarding NBIO and Jk2 - I think the Channel abstraction could be > >enhanced to use poll() ( using APR ). > > Jk2 is really a whole new study for the good old mod_jk developpers, What I tried to do is make it easier to read and cleaner - for new and future 'old mod_jk developers'. There is a big change in code organization - but if anyone feels the code is harder to read and maintain then we need to start over again. I personally believe it's going in the right direction, so I'll continue moving. BTW, the new configuration ( based on Location instead of JkMount and without workers.properties ) needs review and feedback. ( the old stuff should still work, but I would like it deprecated ) Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
