Hi, You have a unique talent for either misunderstanding my posts or taking them out of context ;)
>Do you really deny that mod_jk is somewhat hard to install? No, I don't deny it's hard to install, and I didn't deny it in my original email. I said it's easy to download, and it is. >What if you run some PHP stuff and some Servlet stuff on the same >servername? Or simply many tomcats behind a front-end? I didn't say Tomcat standalone is suitable for all situations, but for a growing number of situations, and again I stand by that. > Even if it isn't for anything else, a transparent forwarding mechanism >between a "specific subset of the server's URL namespace" (quote from >ServletContext) of the server holding the listen call at port 80, and >Tomcat, will always be needed, I believe. Claiming that something will always be needed is beyond my clairvoyance abilities, but thankfully some people can apparently see the future ;) I disagree that even now such a transparent forwarding mechanism is strictly needed for many applications, because many servers including Tomcat can bind to port 80 while not running as root. >maybe not the right solution for this. A simple raw forwarding of the >requests from Apache HTTPD to Apache Tomcat would be incredibly nice. There's nothing preventing you from writing this, and either making $$$ off of it (if the need for such a product is as high as you think, you might even get lots of $$$ for it), or donating it to the open-source community. >One also have other HTTP servers than Apache, in particular IIS. And that has to do with my post, how? ;) All I said mod_jk is trivial to download (I didn't say anything about installation), the connector documentation is not a high priority for at least some of the tomcat developers, and that if someone wants to bitch and moan without contributing they're welcome to, but they shouldn't expect people to care. All that's not only true but mostly self-evident ;) Yoav This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
