mod_proxy_ajp

• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html

So, after reading through the two web pages listed above....

1. I'm assuming mod_proxy-ajp will take the place of mod_jk/mod_jserv listed in the Tomcat-Apache HOWTO
2. Went into my httpd.conf and enabled mod_proxy_ajp. It depends on mod_proxy, which was already enabled...via the LoadModule? directive
3. As a side note: We'll be using reverse proxy in Apache for greenstone3. i.e Users will send request to our greenstone uri, but our apache server will receive the request, remove the user track data (if this is a second get request) and then pass the request onto the tomcat container...which has the servlets...If it was a forward proxy, the users will know that our Apache server is a proxy...the question is, who is the Apache server proxy working for? If its protecting the client from the outside world, its a forward proxy, if its protecting the server, its a reverse proxy (this might not be clear...but this is how I differentiate between them in my brain)
4. Next steps: install tomcat, make greenstone work with the external tomcat, make tomcat work with Apache.....
5. Installed tomcat from
