try to look around on the Jserv section of Apache.org
the APJ protocol was originally built to bridge Apache and JServ. (hence the
name and all the references AjpServMount etc)
the protocol was then adapted and modified to work with Tomcat.
the module/protocol goal now is to allow plugins for Netscape and IIS as
well as Apache to talk to Tomcat.

Subject: newbie [apache/tomcat] question: what does "AJP" stand for?
howdy,
i found a lot of info on ajpv12 vs ajpv13, for example, but nothing that
explains the protocol in depth (including what it stands for).
since it seems like the servlet container (e.g. tomcat) talks to the
webserver adapter (e.g. mod_jk or mod_jserv) via ajp12 or ajp13 [and then
the server adapter, in turn, communicates with the webserver (e.g.
apache)]...does ajp stand for Apache-Java Protocol?
if in fact it does stand for Apache-Java Protocol, then i guess that would
make me MORE confused since i thought that part of the goal of mod_jk was
to allow the servlet engine (tomcat) to deal with more types of webservers
(IIS, iPlanet, etc.) by adding the jk libraries or something?!?
any explanation plus links howtos or protocol specs, etc. would be much
appreciated.
thank you,
tc
P.S. why would you NOT run ajp13? what would be the downside? it seems like
the "+'s" are: 1-better SSL support 2-faster...what are the "-'s"?
