You've successfully stumped me. Don't feel as though it is a great accomplishment though ;-) Every time I feel I "nearly have my mind around" this stuff, I realize another aspect that I am clueless about.
My inference is that people who want to load-balance use mod_jk. Using mod_jk (to me) is indicative of Apache + Tomcat. You want to do standalone. If you're willing to install Apache to get load-balancing going, then check out http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/. That was my "guide" to making mod_jk "work for me". You should be able to gleen a lot of information out of that. If you're insistent on doing standalone, I wish you the best luck! So far as "Tomcat's SSL performance" goes - I have done no benchmarks. In fact, I don't use TC for SSL. What I do is use Apache to serve static content and handle SSL "translation" for me. I haven't messed with the SSL stuff yet at all since I upgraded the OS on my dev box, but that is not far down the road (I wanted to be sure I had the "basics" before I added "bells & whistles"). Apache (mod_ssl) will do it though - not Tomcat. I did have SSL going just fine on the previous box - it wasn't that bad at all. Apache came to me with mod_ssl installed and there were only minor modifications to make to get it working. I haven't decided yet if redirection works - I've been having some issues this morning that required my attention and haven't really gotten to actually do any dvel work yet today. Hopefully I will get to it after lunch... or during lunch *contemplates ordering in* If it's as easy as I'm lead to believe from looking over the old TC 3.3 stuff it's basically transparent. I don't really see how this could be, but maybe I'm wrong. It would be really nice if we had the quality of documentation for TC 4.* as (apparantly) exists for TC 3.*. I think, were that the case, this list would see a huge reduction in the number of VERY confused people (put me in that group, please) that post. Isn't this fun?! Hopefully my ramblings are of some use to you. If the ubeans site walk-through doesn't "cure your ills", let me know. I will eventually (a ways down the road, I think) be doing load-balancing. I could always (try to) set up load-balancing here on the dvel box and try to "make it go". I too would "really appreciate some help on this" LOL - but apparantly nobody knows how or cares to. Hopefully you, Steve, and myself can work this out!
