Hi, I am using Apache 2.0.43 with Tomcat 4.1.12LE and mod_jk2. I have set up identical tomcat instances running on different ports which allows me to have a machine utilized even when I need to shutdown one of the two instances for maintenance etc. The two instances are load balanced through a jk2 load balance group to two AJP13 (channel.socket) connectors.
Right now what I have been doing is shutting down one of the two tomcat instances using tomcat's shutdown.sh script and having mod_jk2 detect the "failure" of the instance and redirect traffic. This works but generates errors. So my question is this: Is it possible to gracefully shutdown a channel via the status worker or something similar? I would rather temporarily disable a worker than depend on the mod_jk2 failure detection. I'm having a bit of a hard time with the mod_jk2 documentation :) Thanks! Mark
