Need Clarification - ChannelJNI and mod_jk2

[Chong Yu Meng <ch...@cymulacrum.net>]

I received an email a few days ago asking if I got ChannelJNI to work 
for my combination (which is : Apache 2.0.45 (Falsehope rpm) + Tomcat 
4.1.24 + mod_jk2 (v 2.0.1)). As I am using Channelsockets now, I thought 
it would be interesting to see if the JNI channel works as well. As it 
turned out, whether I tried the inprocess configuration or 
out-of-process configuration, I was still unable to get the combination 
to work (my jk2.properties and workers2.properties are shown below). The 
error, when I start Apache is :

[Mon May 26 11:23:35 2003] [error] Fail-> could not create JVM, code: -1
[Mon May 26 11:23:35 2003] [notice] jni.validate() class= 
org/apache/jk/apr/TomcatStarter
[Mon May 26 11:23:35 2003] [error] workerJni.init() Can't attach to VM
[Mon May 26 11:23:35 2003] [error] workerEnv.initWorkers() init failed 
for worker.jni:onStartup

At this point, I am not able to access the servlet and jsp examples 
through Apache. Looking through the original workers2.properties that 
came with my mod_jk2 rpm, it appears that the sections for channelJni 
were marked "disabled=1". This raised a red flag in my mind. Does this 
mean that the JNI channel does not work ?

Also, mod_jk2 has the choice of 3 kinds of connections : UNIX sockets, 
channel sockets and JNI. What are the differences between these 3 
approaches -- any improvements in speed or reliability, or are these 
just a result of creativity (i.e. let's see if we can make it work using 
[insert approach here]? I got channel sockets working fine on my system, 
and  it seems faster than my previous configuration with mod_jk (a 
subjective view only).

Ok, here are my configuration files :

jk2.properties
==========
# Set the desired handler list
handler.list=apr,container,channelJni
#channelJni.disabled=0

# Dynamic library needs to be defined because we are using
# Tomcat out of process
#jtc=/usr/lib/apache2
#apr.NativeSo=${jtc}/jkjni.so

# Or, using mod_jk2 directly
apr.jniModeSo=${jtc}/mod_jk2.so

# Starting Tomcat from inside the web server
apr.jniModeSo=inprocess
