Configure Apache HTTPd as a reverse proxy (mod_proxy) Configuring a remote Apache HTTP server 

The communication between the HTTP server and Geronimo can be also done via AJP connectors. By default, both Apache Geronimo distributions (Jetty and Tomcat) have already predefined one AJP v13 listener, the ports where these listeners are defined varies from one distribution to the other.

  • For Jetty the default AJP13 listener port is 8019
  • For Tomcat the default AJP13 listener port is 8009

This section will cover the configuration for both Geronimo distributions as the steps are very similar (if not equal).

The Jakarta Tomcat Connector mod_jk module is provided as a connector from Apache Tomcat source, Jetty (and obviously Tomcat) is fully compatible with this connector. This module is avaiable when you download the Tomcat source, but also is available for download separately, refer to the following URL for the proper version for your system.

http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi

In addition to the mod_jk you will require the workers.properties file, also available with the Apache Tomcat source distribution. This properties file tells the mod_jk plugin how to connect to the Geronimo server. For a detailed explanation on all the available options for configuring the Jakarta Tomcat Connector visit the following URL:

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/config/workers.html

For practical purposes, the module mod_jk_1.2.6_2.0.50.dll for Windows and the workers.properties are included in the Attachments section in this article.
