[users@httpd] A question about configuration of "workers.properties"

[thomas2004 <th...@yahoo.de>]

I have 2 questiuons.

1.
I see many examples as follow:
[code]
worker.list=worker1,worker2
# Set properties for worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009
# Set properties for worker2
worker.worker2.type=ajp13
worker.worker2.host=localhost
worker.worker2.port=8109
[/code]

But can I configure all workers to access the same port as follow?
[code]
worker.list=worker1,worker2
# Set properties for worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009
# Set properties for worker2
worker.worker2.type=ajp13
worker.worker2.host=localhost
worker.worker2.port=8009
[/code]

2.
Here is another configuration:
[code]
###################################
# Define the Template
###################################
worker.template.connection_pool_timeout=300
worker.template.socket_keepalive=True
worker.template.lbfactor=1
worker.template.type=ajp13
worker.template.ping_timeout=10000
worker.template.ping_mode=A
worker.template.retries=20
worker.template.activation=A
worker.template.recovery_options=7
worker.template.socket_timeout=120
[/code]

a) Is the parameter 'socket_timeout' unnecessary?
b) Here I used 'connection_pool_timeout'. What and how should I do by Tomcat
(server.xml)?

I'll just give my opinion on the first one.

What would be the point ?
Normally, the point of having more than one worker, is when you have 
more than one Tomcat back-ends, and you want to distribute the requests 
between them (either by load-balancing, or just by selecting one or the 
other based on the request URL).

If you configure different workers, but all of them point to the same 
back-end host and port, then all the requests anyway will go to the same 
Tomcat, and to the same Connector within Tomcat.
It is at best an increase in the overhead.
At worst, by doing this, you probably ruin the mod_jk calculation of how 
many connections to Tomcat it should manage and keep alive.
