| README for JK2 |
| -------------- |
| |
| JK2 is a refactoring of JK and is much more powerfull. Even if it works with |
| Apache 1.3, JK2 has been developed with Apache 2.0 in mind, and is better suited |
| for multi-threaded servers like IIS, NES/iPlanet. It can also be embeded in |
| other applications and used from java. |
| |
| JK2 improves the modularity and has a better separation between protocol and |
| physical layer. As such JK2 support fast unix-socket, and could be extended to |
| support others communications channels. It is better suited for JNI and may use |
| (in a future version) JDK 1.4 NIO. There is additional support for monitoring, |
| similar with JMX in java. A module similar with mod_status is provided, and |
| additional adapters can be used to interface and provide status and runtime |
| configuration. The configuration has been changed to follow the component |
| models. Multiple configuration sources can be supported ( in additon to file ) |
| providing better integration with the embeding application. The config layer |
| uses the management layer APIs and it can support persistence for changes done |
| via runtime configuration. |
| |
| |
| How to obtain the JK2 and Apache Portable Runtime sources: |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| NOTE: If you downloaded a source distribution from our website or a mirror (the |
| file is called jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-X.X.X.src.tar.gz) you don't need to |
| obtain any other file. Please follow this chapter only if you want to obtain the |
| latest CVS version of the sources. |
| |
| Check out the module sources from CVS using the following commands: |
| |
| cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login |
| (Logging in to anoncvs@cvs.apache.org) |
| CVS password: anoncvs |
| cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic \ |
| checkout jakarta-tomcat-connectors |
| |
| Once CVS downloads the jakarta-tomcat-connectors module sources, we need to |
| download the APR (Apache Portable Runtime) sources. To do this simply use a |
| release version of APR: |
| |
| - You can download it from http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/. |
| - The file is called apr-X.X.X.tar.gz |
| |
| You will also need the APR-UTIL (a companion library to APR). To do this simply |
| use a release version of APR: |
| |
| - You can download it from http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/. |
| - The file is called apr-util-X.X.X.tar.gz |
| |
| When the APR sources are in place, we need to create the configure scripts. It |
| is done by running the command: |
| |
| ./buildconf.sh |
| |
| |
| WARNING: |
| --------- |
| |
| The JK2 should be considered initial-release quality code. It has not been |
| subjected to the same stresses on its stability and security that the mod_jk |
| releases have enjoyed, so there is a greater possibility of undiscovered |
| vulnerabilities to stability or security. |
