Bottom-posting preserves the logical order of the replies and is consistent with the Western reading direction from top to bottom.

My comment was not meant to start a flame war, just to remind you (and gently, at that) of what the usage rules of this list are. Even if for your own personal communications elsewhere you prefer to use another style, when you are going somewhere in order to get free help in resolving a problem of yours, and you obtain such help freely given, it would seem just mere politeness to abide by the customs of the place, no ?

(Which customs are listed here : http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html -> tomcat-users -> Important, as Chuck already pointed out)


Apart from this, if you want to understand better how Apache httpd handles requests and in which order things happen (such as proxying via mod_proxy or mod_jk, or things like JkMount, SetHandler/AddHandler etc), one of the best explanations I know of, is to be found here :

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html

This is related to Perl, and mod_perl (a tight integration of a Perl interpreter into Apache httpd), which in itself might not be of direct interest to you. But in the process, it gives a very good idea of how Apache httpd works internally, including at what stages of the HTTP request processing cycle it decides to pass the request to the various mod_xxx modules within httpd. (including mod_jk, which is in fact for Apache httpd only one of the possible "response-generating" modules).
