Well, "cleaner and simpler" means "better" to me :-)
Maybe a good start would be to discuss that on tomcat-dev - there are
quite a few people with experience in the connector side, and I'm sure the
result will be better if we do it togheter.
But this shouldn't stop the work on mod_jk and the proposed extensions
to ajp13. If the architecture will be similar with 3.3 ( lazy
evaluation, no garbage ) then it should be easy to do another refactoring
and also have the JNI connector ported to a common codebase.
