Apache+Tomcat, mod_webapp or mod_proxy?

[Alex Short <al...@short.net>]

Just wondering what people's experiences are with mod_webapp and 
mod_proxy.

I've been able to see two configurations for Tomcat4 with apache.  One 
using mod_proxy and ProxyPass to send requests to Tomcat, others using 
mod_webapp's warpConnection.  Is one a better solution then the other?

Our deployment will likely be some load balancing solution (hardware or 
software) then two webservers running apache and tomcat.

I'd like to set apache to feed any requests for jsp pages to tomcat, right 
now I'm accomplishing this by setting a symlink from the webapps dir to 
the www directory, so that both apache and tomcat can see the same files, 
and have apache pass it off if the content is jsp.  Ideally i'd set it up 
so both apache servers can talk to their own tomcat4 server and also cross 
over to the other one if theirs is down.

Any advice?

Thanks

-Alex
