Why wouldn't you use either mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp here? Of course,
you need tomcat to have an AJP13 listener set up (usually port 8009 --
example config is in the standard server.xml but commented out I think)
AJP13 is just a condensed version of HTTP with most of the standard text
strings replaced by binary codes, and it uses persistent apache <->
tomcat connections rather than tearing them down after each session, so
it's a bit more efficient.
mod_jk is more developed and more widely used but it's yet another packag=
e
to install. mod_proxy_ajp comes as standard with apache22 -- it's a
refactoring of the mod_jk code to take all the load-balancy stuff out int=
o
a separate mod_proxy module and then add back in the AJP13-ness separatel=
y.
Cheers,
Matthew
