Agreed, there are improvements to be made. Do you have any specific suggestions (other than "please clarify all this")? A quick response: 1. mod_proxy supports both HTTP and AJP protocols 2. mod_jk has more features than mod_proxy_ajp 3. Adding a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat will always add overhead regardless of protocol. If you don't need a reverse proxy for anything else, don't add one (i.e. remove httpd from the setup). 4. Tomcat can server static content just as quickly as httpd.
