I still don’t even understand what its for. I have read the apache
docs but it doesn’t mean anything to me.. Apache's description
doesn't tell me anything.
The AJP Connector element represents a Connector component that
communicates with a web connector via the AJP protocol. This is
used for cases where you wish to invisibly integrate Tomcat into an
existing (or new) Apache installation, and you want Apache to
handle the static content contained in the web application, and/or
utilize Apache's SSL processing.
That is mumbo jumbo.
Is it?
Well, it could be improved. For example, by using the
widely-understood word "proxy" somewhere, or defining "web connector".
Also by recalling that "Apache" is a huge array of various projects
(including Tomcat!), while "Apache HTTP Server" refers to a specific
web server daemon that can front-end Tomcat. One could even link
"Apache HTTP Server" to 'http://httpd.apache.org/'.
+1. Maybe "...communicates with an HTTP server via..." in the first
sentence? Also, the second sentence could be greatly simplified.
