But you need a local install of Java; is that right?

Ok, thanks. I setup a Coyote/JK2 Connector on the tomcat side and used
mod_jk to forward AJP13 requests to it. That seems to work pretty well,
although am I right in thinking a JkMount command can only forward URIs
 'as-is'?  i.e if I set 

JkMount /neotokyo/*     lb

then the request is going to be sent as a request to /neotokyo/whatever.jsp
- that is, as a request for whatever.jsp in the context neotokyo
to the default Host element in my engine? I might have missed something, but
don't see how else it could work. The workers aren't URL aware, they
just shovel requests into sockets.

Doesn't this mean that if you mapped *.jsp, you'd need either a ROOT context
with directories mirroring Apaches tree, or a Context for each top-level
directory on the Apache side?

And is the Host part of the protocol, so you can dedicate virtual hosts to
AJP clients? I got around this by having a Tomcat virtual host with the
DNS name of the Apache webserver, and setting it as the Engines default host
 - since no HTTP requests should come into tomcat  asking for that host, it
solves the problem but is pretty clanky.

If these seem to be odd questions, bear in mind I'm comparing this to
a mod_proxy / Coyote Proxy Connector solution, which seems more
flexible on first impression. I just wanted to be sure I know how this works,
also does anyone know if jk2 addresses these issues?

Thanks a lot.
