Reinvent ? The issue was porting the configuration mechanism into
mod_jk/ajp13 - i.e. merge the 2 connectors.
mod_jk supports multiple web servers, can be fine tuned ( if you want to),
and it's much more stable and flexible ( and at least it was developed as
an open source project - with quite a few developers contributing
and tuning it).
mod_webapp has the auto-config of webapps - easy to port.
