Hi Kenneth,
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.
That's what I told. :-) []s, Fernando Lozano
