Hello all, Hopefully I picked a good list to bring this topic up on. There were several candidates.
I have spent some time today attempting to perform the non-trival task of configuring communication between the apache web server and the tomcat servlet engine. This seems to be a fairly complicated process involving quite a lot of configuration and some degree of black magic. It occured to me that a simpler approch would be to simply have apache forward requests at HTTP level to a list of slave servers in the form of "Cant find this resource!! Can you??". Before apache returns a 404 error it could consult some form of list and ask other servers on the network (tomcat for instance ;o)) to attempt to find the resource via HTTP. I dont see a reason why this would perform particually badly in the most common set up of apache + tomcat. Presumably there is a way to configure apache to do this already (if anyone could point me to the write manaual page I would be grateful), but it doesnt seem to be offered up a simple solution to a complex problem on the tomcat integration pages. My question... why is this solution not mentioned more often given the number of "how do i configure mod_jk2??" results on google and would their be any serious disadvantages with such an approch?
