Re: [Jetty-support] Jetty-support Digest, Vol 6, Issue 64

hello Eric

I've been investigating the options for putting Apache in front of
Jetty. From what I can tell the options are Apache mod_proxy to Jetty
running on a different port (8080 will do just fine), or Apache mod_jk
to Jetty with the AJP listener configured.

For Jetty 5 I can find this:
http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty5/faq/faq_s_200-General_t_apache.html
and this:
http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty5/faq/faq_s_700-Clustering_t_modjk.html

But I am concerned about the accuracy of those pages (they're pretty
old). Can anyone comment on whether or not the information they
contain is still valid. Specifically:

Is the comment about mod_proxy not supporting persistent connections still true?

Is mod_jk2 or mod_jk recommended when choosing the AJP route? (I've
read that jk2 is deprecated, but can't seem to confirm that)
: /yes mod_jk2 is deprecated see http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi/ 
: /as for mod_jk, I had problems with it in using apache 2.2, consider using mod_proxy_ajp/

What, if anything, is different about Jetty 6 and mod_proxy or mod_jk?
I remember seeing a message here a while back about Jetty 6 not
including the AJP listener, but can't find that message now.
/: because it wasn't finish at that time, now its already available with bug-fixes on jetty-6.1.0pre3 /

One of the listed drawbacks of mod_jk is that it might require
restarting Apache whenever Jetty is restarted. Is that still true? In
my situation that is a bit of a problem because I don't control the
Apache instance.
: /no, its not true anymore, when was working with jetty 6's ajp connector, I never restarted my Apache machine/

I guess this is another plea to Greg and team for some updated docs.
Hopefully the info from above pages can be used without much
modification.
I am just trying to avoid banging my head (and my Apache admin's head)
against some walls, by making sure the info we start with is at leat
mostly valid.

thanks bong
