apache to tomcat: mod_jk vs mod_proxy

Question

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using mod_jk and mod_proxy for fronting a tomcat instance with apache?

I\'ve been using mod_jk

Answer 1

If you wish to stay in Apache land, you can also try the newer mod_proxy_ajp, which uses the AJP protocol to communicate with Tomcat instead of plain old HTTP, but which leverages mod_proxy to do the work.
