This is not the http connector, it is the ajp connector. It is necessary
only if you want apache to serve as a front-end for tomcat, say when a
site needs to run both jsp and php, or you want apache to load balance
many tomcat instances. I would like to have it, but it is not strictly
necessary to run java web apps using tomcat.
But it is necessary if, like me, you're serving a "regular" web site and
need to integrate somebody's Java app. I've been running Apache/PHP for
some time and now want to run DataVision
<http://datavision.sourceforge.net/> and the cookbook for web integration
<http://www.omnytex.com/articles/dvweb/> calls for Tomcat. (Right now I'm
stuck trying to figure out how to map a URI to the dvwebapp example
application.)
