Tomcat/Mod_jk on Redhat

Hi Guys,

We are trying to introduce Java technology in our workplace (all the staff have been recently re-trained in Java). As far as I can tell, our System Administrators are really only resourced to be able to install standard Redhat packages.

I initially thought we could install a clean vanilla tomcat, and then 
install mod_jk or mod_proxy_jk, however I am told by our System 
Administrators there are no packages for mod_jk, or mod_proxy_jk (I 
think they mean, that there are no packages that are supported by Redhat).

I wonder if one of you more experienced people may be able to recommend a Redhat package or set of packages that we can ask our System Administrators to install? (That you guys are using in production of course).

Best Regards,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,

I've been administering Red Hat, Apache, Tomcat setups for about 5 years using
jpackage. http://jpackage.org. It works great for me.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Jacob,

Redhat provide packages for Tomcat and mod_jk. For Redhat Enterprise AS
4, these are in the "Application Server" channel, if I recall correctly.
(Either that, or "Extras").

They are provided by Redhat, and based on the Jpackage project.

http://www.jpackage.org/

If your admins use the Redhat packages (rather than Jpackage's
versions), they can log support tickets to Redhat - this is important
for many organisations (as opposed to getting support from this
excellent list).

Also, using Redhat's packages, tomcat and mod_jk packages can be updated
using "up2date", which makes it easier for the admins to apply security
updates.

Cheers, Ben

Actually we have a Suse version 10.1 we managed to install a generic 
tomcat(version6.0.14, apache 2.26 and mod_jk1.2.26) So I don't see any 
probem doing the same thing in readhat
