well, what I see is this: after more than one year stagnation on the mod_jk2 connector we started again, made it comilable on all platforms, and improved it a lot, cleaned up the code cause we made APR mandatory, and did a release. Many users where happy with it, and a lot of new users came and saw 'hey, thats the new connector' and tried it; others migrated and found mod_jk2 faster over mod_jk.
Few time later you are not lucky with mod_jk2, and you just want to start another conenctor; and after some discussion you agreed to create mod_proy_ajp.
Then suddenly, just after mod_proy_ajp is just born - and I cant believe that it is only cause I couldnt follow up with development - I see that you state that mod_jk2 has come to its end cause of no developers and no users interest....
really suprised of this all I get mail from Novell asking for help since mod_jk is now broken..... we have just fixed it so we could folow up with the 1.2.8 release, and you continue to break it ......
If I recall correctly we commonly agreed with last time's discussion that we stay with mod_jk _as_is_ and dont move to APR or such, and that mod_jk should mainly remain for our Apache 1.3.x users while Apache 2.x users should use mod_jk2 or also now mod_proxy_ajp - so what has changed this direction now??
Mladen, if you continue with the mod_jk development I fear that we end up the same as with mod_jk2: you will certainly break Apache 1.3.x support - at least on NetWare, and that's _very_ bad cause it's a shipping product of NetWare 6.
1) The configuration is relatively sane as compared to that of mod_jk2
2) There are many reasonably stable mod_jk versions, so even *if* Mladen screws up a release there are plenty of alternative mod_jk versions.
* On the other hand, there never really was a stable mod_jk2 release -- every release tested continued to exhibit serious corner case issues.
It would be great if everyone could move to mod_proxy_ajp, but I believe that still requires Apache 2.1/2.2 -- which means it has not yet arrived for the majority of us.
I personally applaud Mladen for his efforts to fix/improve/maintain mod_jk given that that is the reality for most of us.
