But its 80:20 to Tomcat :). We use the jk_nt_service.exe all the time. We also use the JNI connector when using IIS because when rebooting it mainly didn't work as a service because Tomcat started before IIS. Plus its easy and very fast for our sales team to use on laptops. We don't use ajp12 anymore. It is a pain in the arse to have to start TC and Webserver in the correct order, especially as its a different order on Windows with IIS than on Unix with Apache!!! With TC4 we could do with a JNI connector in mod_webapp (even though Pier probably doesn't want to do this). We will use mod_webapp in preference to mod_jk for simplicity of setting up.
