Apache/Tomcat Production Configuration

[Ni...@directline.com]

Hi all

With Tomcat 4.1.10 now released and labelled as 'stable', I am
interested in whether it is ready for prime-time? Indeed, should I be
using mod_jk or mod_jk2 for communication between Apache 2.0.40 /Tomcat
in our production website? The fallback option we have is Tomcat
4.0.4/mod_jk.

In my dev-team, there is a bit FUD because of:
1) the lack of docco for config
2) mod_jk2 is only available as a nightly build, i.e. it has not yet
reached "release" quality
3) new-ness of the 4.1.10 release meaning it has not yet been sufficiently
battletested.

For the first point, I have found sufficient config guidance in the
many HOWTOs published on the mailing lists but I am most concerned in
the stability of the 4.1.10 release/mod_jk2 Coyote connector.

So any advice on what production configuration I should propose
(and why) will be appreciated.

Thanks

Nigel

We have been using Tomcat 4.1.x with Jasper 1 for 6 months in production.
We just updated to the lastest Tomcat 4.1.10+ from CVS and finally put Jasper 2
into production yesterday. We use Apache 1.3.26 with mod_jk 1.2 and Ajp13.

This is for a site with > 500k page views per month with heavy JSP usage.  Almost
all of the site except the main site index page uses JSP.

The Tomcat 4.1.x catalina core works great, Jasper 2 is finally at production quality
and provides a significant boost in performance for JSP.

I haven't looked much into using jk2 for production yet because it doesn't have the
features I need and is still a relatively new codebase.

Regards,

Glenn

I think the previous docs apply, but it does come with its own docs.
