I have found a section referring to a graceful attribute for load balanced
workers.  This feature is supposed to be set to 1 if the given worker should
stop accepting new connections (while maintaining existing ones).  This
sounds like the feature I am looking for (as described below) but it is not
working for me.  Is there something I have to enable on the apache side or
change during the mod_jk2 comilation so that it dynamically recognixes
changes to the work2.properties file at runtime ?

Some sites refer to this feature as 'hot-reconfiguration' and it sounds like
a feature that is supposed to be supported by mod_jk2... but I am not having
any luck.

Subject: Apache 2 - mod_jk2


I am running a load balanced Apache2 - mod_jk2 configuration.  I am
wondering if there is an option in the configuration settings that would
allow an administrator to dynamically close one or more of the connectors
(stop it from accepting new connections) so that a given Servlet Engine can
be shutdown, updated, restarted etc... this way when people enter the site
the apache-mod_jk2 will not attempt to contact the Servlet Engine that is
down but will be directed to another instance that is still running.

We already have a means of monitoring existing connections on each Servlet
Container... so once the connector is not diverting traffic to a given
container we can wait until the current users finish their work...

is there a way to do this by updating some configuration settings
dynamically ?
