Hi All,
We run Apache 1.3.23, and to handle JSP content, we use Tomcat as a separate package (listening on port 8080 for requests). Is there a JSP module available for Apache to do the same thing as Tomcat so that JSP requests can be handled at port 80 only? (Microsoft does this with ASP content, but does such a thing exist for Apache 1.3.23, or will this be in Apache 2.0?).
Yes, if you look on the Jakarta Tomcat homepage you'll see how to download and configure the mod_jk.so connector that allows Apache to refer JSP and servlet requests as configured to Tomcat. This is the normal way by which everyone uses Tomcat with Apache. Alternatively, if you configure it appropriately and run it as root, Tomcat can run as a complete web server on port 80 and 443 (SSL) in its own right. -- Rachel
