Hello Everyone!
I am currently using Tomcat 6 to serve all my dynamic requests ( mostly ajax
) and Apache frontend to serve static files. ( The existing connection from
apache to tomcat is using mod_jk ). I have couple of questions
1) I read that NIO connectors are way better that normal HTTP connector. But
since http frontend server ( apache/lighthttpd) uses ajp connectors to
connect to tomcat, is there a NIO version for the ajp connector ( that runs
on port 8009 ) also ?
2) Based on 1), which is a better way to achieve the connection from
apache/lighthttpd to tomcat
a) Using mod_jk ( not sure how to achieve this using lighthttpd ) OR
b) Using mod_proxy_ajp ( Again not sure what the equivalent is in
lighthttpd )
The constraint that I have right now is that I have only one server :( So it
is not possible to make tomcat a standalone ( since I want apache/lighthttpd
to serve the static files ).
Thanks!
Rakesh
