JK was develop to overcome many limitations of its ancestor, <b>

</b>.
</p>
<p class="section">
<b>
<font color="#333333">mod_jserv</font>
</b> was too complex and because it was ported from Apache/JServ,
it brought with it lots of JServ specific bits that aren't needed by Apache.
</p>
<p class="section">
Where <b>
<font color="#333333">mod_jserv</font>
</b> supported only Apache webservers on Unix OS,
<b>
<font color="#333333">JK</font>
</b> supports much more web servers and operating systems through
via a compatibility layer named the <b>
<font color="#333333">JK library</font>
</b>.
The layered approach provided by the JK library makes it easier to
support many different webservers and OS.
</p>
<p class="section">
JK offer better support for SSL, that's was a problem with mod_jserv which couldn't
reliably identify whether a request was made via HTTP or HTTPS.
</p>
<p class="section">
JK can, using the newer Ajpv13 protocol which relay many SSL informations required by servlet 2.2 and 2.3 specs.
</p>
<p class="section">
JK offers a lot of different and flexible communications between a Web Server
and the Tomcat Servlet Engine and could be used today with all of the ASF Tomcat Engines,

<p class="section">
JK2 is a refactoring of JK and is much more powerfull.
</p>
<p class="section">
Even if it works with Apache 1.3, JK2 has been developed with Apache 2.0 in mind,
and is better suited for multi-threaded servers like IIS, NES/iPlanet. It can also
be embeded in other applications and used from java.
</p>
<p class="section">
JK2 improves the modularity and has a better separation between protocol and physical layer.
As such JK2 support fast unix-socket, and could be extended to support others communications
channels. It is better suited for JNI and may use (in a future version) JDK 1.4 NIO.
</p>
<p class="section">
There is additional support for monitoring, similar with JMX in java. A module similar
with mod_status is provided, and additional adapters can be used to interface and
provide status and runtime configuration. .
</p>
<p class="section">
The configuration has been changed to follow the component models. Multiple configuration
sources can be supported ( in additon to file ) providing better integration with
the embeding application. The config layer uses the management layer APIs and it can
support persistence for changes done via runtime configuration.
</p>
<p class="section">
Another feature is the JNI mode. Jk2 can be used as a JNI library and provide access to
native features to java. For example it provides access to shared memory ( used for
config and monitoring in a multiprocess environment ), unix domain sockets. It can
also provide access to signals, chuid, win registry. All using the same communication
mechansim, and supporting both in-process and out-of process modes.

</a>
<p class="section">
The alternative ways are better described in <b>
<font color="#333333">mod_webapp</font>
</b>
documentation.
</p>
<p class="section">
Check <b>
<font color="#333333">webapp</font>
</b> site for it and then decide if you want to go on reading.
</p>
<p class="section">
The big advantage of <b>
<font color="#333333">mod_webapp</font>
</b> is that is very easy to configure,
has a well defined protocol named <b>
<font color="#333333">WARP</font>
</b>, does not care about the old
crappy protocols used in Tomcat-3.x and so.
But it would be possible to implement the <b>
<font color="#333333">WARP</font>
</b> protocol in
<b>
<font color="#333333">JK2</font>
</b> ;-))
</p>
<p class="section">
The disadvantage is that it requires the <b>
