Hi, there,
Apache is a C application while Tomcat is in pure Java. Would you please complain the mechanism for the communication between these two? Especially, does it use shared memory or a temporary file or sockets?
It uses sockets and AJP13 protocol for communication.
Would you please give me a conceptual explanation or a pointer to some documents, and in addition what classes in Tomcat source code handling this IPC as well as the C modules of Apache?
The best way to start is: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/jk2/index.html
