Fine with me.

Again fine with me.

I can extend the JkUriSet, but I need the the table of handlers, input
filters, output filter and protocols that I'll go through, for each
particular hook.
The SetJavaHandler is only example for handler modules.
SetJavaInputFilter and SetJavaOutputFilter are other two.
I'm afraid that JkUriSet doesn't allow that. Of course it can be
extended to keep the config directive count low,
like 'JkUriSet handler someHandler', and will be confusing.

That's my goal too. The Java side will have all the interface, and C
side will just find the paticular hook, and implement the missing
interface.

Again I need four special data structures that consists of synced
apr_table, and apr_hash_table,
bassicaly the extended jk_map_aprtable.

I'd like to minimize the various configuration files. Modules will be
the part of Apache server and IMO their configuration should be inside
the server configuration file.

Fine with me.

Agree! Will check.
