JK and JK2 of Tomcat

Now we have started to configure JK2 and want to integrate Tomcat and Apache. However, JK2 development is not supported on Tomcat. For details, see:

Apache-Tomcat mod_jk2 aka JK2

15 November-JK2 is officially unsupported

JK2 has been put in maintainer mode and no further development will take place. the reason for shutting down JK2 development was the lack of developers interest. other reason was lack of users interest in adopting JK2, caused by configuration complexity when compared to JK.

The latest official JK2 release is 2.0.4.

JK2 will have it's successor within core apache2.1/2.2 Distribution. We have developed newProxy_ajpThat is an addition to the mod_proxy and uses Tomcat's AJP protocol stack. It is developped in httpd-2.1 and integrated in it. We have also developed a newProxy_balancerModule for Load Balancing HTTP and AJP protocol stacks.

JK will be fully supported for all other Web servers. The next JK release is planned for the end of November. Lots of code from JK2 has been ported to JK
