Re: [Jetty-support] Jetty and mod_proxy

[Greg W. <gr...@we...>]

Eric,

for mod_proxy, the best resource is really the apache pages themselves
as you don't need any special configuration on jetty.

for mod_ajp we have some pages on the jetty wiki for jetty 6 that
are recent

I think mod_jk2 is deprecated and you can just use mod_jk
or mod_proxy_ajp (which I prefer)

The ajp in jetty 6.1 is to be considered beta quality.

cheers
