mod_jk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

mod_jk is the connector used to connect Tomcat jsp container with web servers such as Apache, Netscape, iPlanet, SunOne and even IIS using the AJP protocol.

JBoss Web and Tomcat 6 are now using the Apache Portable Runtime library to get increased speed and OpenSSL. They both also support URL Rewriting. The need for a separate Apache instance and the usage of mod_jk may well be reduced in the future. One can now aim for load balancing directly at the JSP/Servlet engine. This gives one less hop in serving up the request and a very fast JSP/Servlet engine that supports the most popular features of Apache.
