Configuration file help

[Randall Svancara <rs...@adaweb.net>]

I am wondering what the following configuration directive accomplishes for tomcat 4.1.29 in the server XML file when added right below the line with "<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">". 

<Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" modJk="C:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/modules/mod_jk.dll" /> 

 

Also I am currious to know what the following configuration directive accomplishes under the host container in the server.xml file.  

<Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" append="true" forwardAll="false" modJk="C:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/modules/mod_jk.dll" /> 



These configuration directives are posted at http://johnturner.com/howto/apache2-tomcat4129-jk-winxp-howto.html and I was just trying to understand what they accomplish, since I have never seen them before when configuring mod_jk with Apache Http server and Tomcat 4.1.29.

Thank you,

Randall

If memory serves, those directives are to help automatically generate
the necessary apache-related JK config stuff.  (When using mod_jk to
connect tomcat to apache, you need to add some stuff to the apache
config file.)  You might notice an extra file there, perhaps called
something like mod-jk.conf (and not sure if it generates the
workers.properties), which supposedly can be included (directly or
indirectly) in the apache config file.  I say "supposedly" because I
seem to recall that the config stuff it generated, while certainly
helpful, wasn't always 100% complete/correct, and usually needed to be
modified a bit to work.
