Attached is a patch for mod_jk.c to more cleanly handle a bad path for the
workers.properties file. Currently, this is handled in jk_init and if the call to
map_read_properties fails, then we just call jk_error_exit which in turn calls
exit(1). This causes some problems on NetWare because we don't go through all of the
Apache cleanup code and so we can't restart Apache. The attached patch just places a
stat call in jk_set_wroker_file to test for the workers.properties file. Since this
is called during the configuration file parse, the error is reported earlier and
allows Apache the shutdown cleanly.
I've built and tested this for NetWare, Linux, and Windows.
