Which Connection method?

[Seth Ladd <sh...@osfmail.isc.rit.edu>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello,

I've checked, but I didn't see any mailing list archives, and I didn't see
this in the FAQ-O-Matic, so I appoligize if this has ben discussed before.

I've just checkedout, compiled, and started (a process that is very
streamlined!) tomcat.  I noticed it bound to 4 ports.  Each port is
listening for either HTTP, AJP11/12/23 connections.  I understand that
these ar ethe various methods for communicating with the servlet engine.

The FAQ-o-matic explains how to connect via HTTP (using the Proxy features
of Apache).  My question is this:  what is the "proper" way to connect to
tomcat (if there is one), why would I use one over the over, and does it
even matter?

Any resources or explanations would be most welcome.  Thanks for your
time!

Seth

Disable http

[Mike Engelhart <me...@earthtrip.com>]

What is the recommended way to disable tomcat from listening on the default
port 8080 for HTTP requests?  I have tomcat setup to have request sent using
AJP from apache Jserv and would like to disable the http server that is
running. 

Thanks,

Mike

Edit server.xml, remove all connectors you don't use ( i.e. all except
AJPxx ).
