Although I saw no 'official' statement about that, I think the history was something like that:
mod_webapp was indented to be the sole connector for tomcat 4.0. As it wasn't ready in the needed qualitity, when TC 4.0 was released, people started to take mod_jk and integrate it with TC 4. One of the goals for mod_webapp, that I can remember from this list, is to enable a better integration between tomcat and apache. mod_jk has some drawback because there are things you have to define at two places. I don't know a single document that describes this. (This is the greatest drawback of mod_webapp). > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Chuck Van Buren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 6.
