In production, you only want the connectors used for actual connections to be enabled. If you're leaving port 8080 open, there's really no purpose for Apache, as one of the primary purposes of using Apache on port 80 instead of Tomcat is security. Leaving Tomcat available on 8080 undermines this goal. So, if you are using a connector at all, there's no reason to have any port open except the connector port.
The protocol used by the JK/JK2 connectors is not HTTP. It is called "AJP", which, I believe, stands for "Apache JServ Protocol". JServ was the "original" Apache + Tomcat connector.

Btw, what is the interface Apache uses to communicate to Tomcat at 8009? I guess it wont be HTTP. For security reasons, I assume it would be safer to run all tomcat processes on the lo interface. Is this correct, and recommended? ~rf. --- Lajos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rf - > > When you use mod_jk, Apache communicates to Tomcat > on (default) port > 8009.
