Re: Why is Tomcat/Connector Installation So Incredibly Painful??

I must agree with QM the mod_jk while is made out to be a daunting task, if you take some time and follow the myrid of tutorials/how-tos out there I would venture to guess that you could do it quickly. I have done it 4 times, Windose and Linux and once I had a problem, it was the second time I did it, and I got a little ahead of myself and had to restart. Do it will clean everything and you should be fine.

I don't share that view.  I've setup mod_jk a few times, and it was very
straightforward.  I followed the docs and ran with it.  JDBC/JNDI
Resources (another problem that appears regularly) works for me without
a hitch, too.  Maybe I'm just lucky. ;)


As for the rest of your post: I'll spare you a debate and leave it at
"whatever works for you, works for you." Some people have an easier time
working with the open software than dealing with commercial products.
At least have the choice.

Having dealt with my fair share of both commercial and free software,
the price tag and quality don't necessarily correlate.  I've used a few
Very Cos$tly Products -- names withheld to protect the guilty ;) -- that
required a lot of twiddling to get working, were very fragile once they
did work, and "bug reports" were handled pretty much as the vendors felt
like it.  It's easy to say, "you should have put pressure on them,
you're a customer" but when a vendor's large enough and you're bound to
their product, that doesn't fly.
