Re: [ANN/VOTE] JK 1.2.11 Released

Good evening All,
In trying the latest Mod_Jk (with Mladen's recent 'NetWare' patch), I 
noticed the jkstatus page provides two configurable parameters for an LB 
worker: 'retries' and 'recover_wait_time', neither of which are (as yet) 
documented for the LB worker.

I also note the 'retries' can be set via the workers.properties file, 
(worker.lb1.retries), but, AFAICT, 'recover_wait_time' can not be set.

Lastly I note that what ever routine parses workers.properties, it has 
the view that any property setting it doesn't know about it simply 
ignores, and gives not even a mention of it in the logs (debug mode).

Regards,
Norm

Re: [ANN/VOTE] JK 1.2.11 Released

Hello and Good Evening from Au.
Thanks for the _very fast_ feedback and clarifies points I had not 
discovered.  :-)  Hopefully the pieces of information you provided will 
eventually make it into the docs? Even the 'global' nature of the 
retries parameter when used on the lb worker would be of potential use 
to some users and is not mentioned in the ajp13 section either. :-)

I'm not sure if it's a NetWare bug only, but for interest I have two 
JkEnvVar entries in my .conf and noticed they were not displayed when 
using the /admin tool with 5.0.30 Tomcat (Resources/MemVars). Or does 
this only show values set at the Tomcat end?

The Jk docs show a sample for the JkEnvVar directive as:

   JkEnvVar     SSL_CLIENT_V_START

but Apache expects a two part answer:

AP_INIT_TAKE2("JkEnvVar", jk_add_env_var, NULL, RSRC_CONF,
               "Adds a name of environment variable that should be sent "
               "to servlet-engine")

Most directives are global AFAIK, but it might be of use (to those that 
need it) if JkEnvVar settings could be limited to directory or location 
requests if desired, rather than passed to Tomcat for _every_ request.

Regards,
Norm

If 'retries' set to the lb it will be used instead each worker retries
option. It is documented in the workers section.

It can, by using worker.lb1.recover_time=NN (seconds)
Minimum value is 60 seconds, and it is used to retry the worker in case
the worker is in error state.
