(ditto nginx, mod_fcgi etc none of them really handle any > form of flakyness when it comes to network well) I've been using mod_jk for quite a few years (both with and without firewalls) and never had any problems. The trick is that you have you have configure it correctly, just like you'd have to properly-configure mod_proxy as well. mod_jk uses a permanent-connection to the backend, and you have to arrange to have those connections re-established if they drop. You want to pair the connection_pool_timeout in mod_jk (in sec) with the connectionTimeout in Tomcat (in ms) to make sure that both sides of the channel will hang up the phone after an appropriate interval. Use of CPING/CPONG can help ensure that the connection hasn't been dropped by the firewall. I suspect that Jayaram's problem is either a mismatched pair of connection_pool_timeout/connectionTimeout settings, or a value that is less than the idle-timeout on the firewall. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXztjUAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY8MwP/jA123QoWtrYgUSKoOF/8qy/ WPa32ZFhcM3zdpmT5+Im6z7yt7m/v8jGYugd1/hvCWFX2VSuqOAIdGxxwI2OC2eq KRWvOgS0PgIwVWvzt7qPp5wILXcmWq0u9OuaXEpgVjKS7AZjPBcsbgi/54n65zkn Ac3lRvSgodZzmNGR6sO+FoUgUF9QnVcXcYJhVJVEb7kzFRSfN32XsIGzB9Z4Q2I9 +WN1F57qcWQrWwsq0Sth+7+E8SnLEhcTuCqultun4tC8Klhh9D63FKMd5L1kgDfZ cxqvxNwxcJUiRzrPjnBd7x9+R3GJ4chUgfq4a8DCXQntkochJEOtgsjOszqjAsl9 3vY3SwDeenzMpd0fwJ8aAhOShWDUSx3BoqV5PmfbrVCNGGA4BH0GIk6kqF37sh6p lBGgW/DjBV8Qk0P4vkk7ieuzv/czMDcuCRgGAAdlHImu/Z9PaWGhckqy0o+35hRj TtCoTlzHPyeAGFaqpD7kkUnHqbduv9QokhLE7xgRGUtaqk0/u0xCpNex208sR2oG WIzBJbfgu5JeSzPXstNGZtvkNEZl+Y5NAvGcAM/2hhmjR405nilfyrSRl6XkH5Te j2Vn4sRfpMxFe6gwe8KOqVHLaRVJk06GNhUUPrF6haATV2sDEC4B7kTCQYSXt2Oe pWHH9rRs5IKKKRu7yeDK =z0xI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
