It works ( barely :-) with Apache2.x and 1.3. The connector for apache1.3 can be used as a basis for updating IIS/iPlanet. The code is very close to alpha, it seem to work fine on my machine - and hopefully most of the major changes are done now, I'm cleaning up few things and doing incremental changes and testing. What's very different in jk2 is the 'port' of several concepts from java ( JMX-like management, JNI style for methods, configuration using setters and abstracted config repository, etc ). Another important change is the ( IMHO ) better abstraction of the marshalling, channel and worker. And the almost complete rewrite of the JNI side, removing several major hotspots ( and catching up with the optimizations in the the http connector ). Plus 'unix socket' channel, and enough modularity to plug any other IPC ( when someone will have the time to play with nt pipes or doors ). Besides speed it'll have few other cool features - including a lot of runtime information and runtime reconfiguration, at the same level with what we have in the java side of tomcat.
