Thanks for the reply. This file would have to be Include'd in Apache's main httpd.conf file, correct? We've considered this solution, but it is not ideal. For example, there might be several Tomcat instances, so there'd be several such mod_jk.conf files. And they'd probably be Include'd in the same section(s) of httpd.conf. Thus there is increased chances of errors or interference between the different mod_jk.conf files. FWIW, I sent out a separate message with a more detailed description of what we're trying to do and what we're considering. > At 10:21 PM 6/24/2002 -0500, you wrote: > >On Mon, 24 Jun 2002, Craig R.
