Tomcat is the Java Servlet / Java Server Page environment produced
by the Apache Foundation's Jakarta Project.  Tomcat can be run as a
standalone web server with Servlet and JSP support, or using Apache
Server as its web server via the mod_jk Apache module (the
www/ap-jk package).

mod_jk is a replacement to the elderly mod_jserv. It is a completely
new Tomcat-Apache plugin that handles the communication between
Tomcat and Apache
Initial import of ap-jk-3.2.1, the next generation connector for accessing Jakarta Tomcat of JServ from Apache. Some more information: What is mod_jk? mod_jk is a replacement to the elderly mod_jserv. It is a completely new Tomcat-Apache plugin that handles the communication between Tomcat and Apache Why mod_jk? Several reasons: mod_jserv was too complex. Because it was ported from Apache/JServ, it brought with it lots of JServ specific bits that aren't needed by Apache. mod_jserv supported only Apache. Tomcat supports many web servers through a compatibility layer named the jk library. Supporting two different modes of work became problematic in terms of support, documentation and bug fixes. mod_jk should fix that. The layered approach provided by the jk library makes it easier to support both Apache1.3.x and Apache2.xx. Better support for SSL. mod_jserv couldn't reliably identify whether a request was made via HTTP or HTTPS. mod_jk can, using the newer Ajpv13 protocol. 2001-03-29 21:34:18 +02:00			`Tomcat is the Java Servlet / Java Server Page environment produced`
