README for jakarta-tomcat-connector
$Id$
Please see doc/mod_jk-howto.html for more verbose instructions
* What is jakarta-tomcat-connector ?
jakarta-tomcat-connector is a new project to release web-servers connector
for the jakarta Tomcat servlet engine.
This project didn't start from null since it reuse the latest code from
mod_jk for the native parts and tomcat 3.3 for the java side of the
force.
From mod_jk we gain :
* A connector (plugin) for many Web Server, including
Apache HTTP Server, Netscape/IPLanet NES and Microsoft IIS
It also support JNI (and seems to used at least by IBM under
AS/400 for Apache/WebSphere connectivity).
* Fault-tolerance and load-balancing. mod_jk use the concept of
workers which handle a particular request, and a special worker
, the lb worker, is a group (cluster ?) of physical workers.
* Direct access to Tomcat 3.2/3.3/4.0/4.1 servlet engine via ajp13
protocol.
* OK, then how do I build web-connector ? Just take a look at BUILDING
