AJP vs. JNI

["Mann, Bradley" <bm...@harris.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to discover the differences between these two protocols (AJP
and JNI) when using the Jakarta Connector with Apache HTTPD and Tomcat.
Any information on the difference between these two and what scenarios
work best with each is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chalk and Cheese.


JNI = Java Native Interface, a programming API to allows native code 
(assembler code conforming to C/C++ ABIs of the host) to be loaded into 
the JVM for execution. 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jni/index.html


AJP = Apache JServ Protocol, a network protocol for proxying HTTP 
request/response cycles.  ApacheJServ evolved into the jakarta 
connectors.  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html
