using Apache module
Hi all,
How can I use an apache module in a C application?
Is it possible to use mod_dbd? Actually there are some undefined references (ap_hook_post_config, ap_hook_child_init...).
Why the APR/APU in srclib of httpd 2.x are old versions and not APR/APU 1.3?
Thanks for your help...

RE: [users@httpd] using Apache module
Posted by "Garnier, Jeremie" <JG...@nds.com>.
Hi all,
I want to make a C application using apache module as i want to use mod_dbd in order to use mod_dbd (connection pooling).
I want to perform the connection to oracle. (I have configured apache in MPM worker mode.)

You would have to provide all of the functions from the Apache core
that the module calls, including all of the callback hooks.
I quickly browsed through the module, and it looks to me like a
fairly thin glue layer on top of APR's DBD. If you want DBD
functionality in your application, you're probably better off calling
APR directly.
Since the Apache code is released under the Apache license, you
should find no problem re-using some of it in your own application,
outside the context of Apache. Note: this does not constitute legal
advice; read the Apache License <http://www.apache.org/licenses/

Apache 2.0.x and 2.2.x use branches of APR: 0.9 and 1.2
respectively. This is done because we require that the APR API we
use is stable. The development trunk of Apache builds against the
trunk of APR, and when we do the next major release we will likely
use a new branch of APR.
