-<p>
-A <b>Tomcat worker</b> is a Tomcat instance that is waiting to execute servlets or any other content
-on behalf of some web server. For example, we can have a web server such as
-Apache forwarding servlet requests to a Tomcat process (the worker) running behind it.
-</p>
-<p>
-The scenario described above is a very simple one;
-in fact one can configure multiple Tomcat workers to serve servlets on
-behalf of a certain web server.
-The reasons for such configuration can be:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li>
-We want different contexts to be served by different Tomcat workers to provide a
-development environment where all the developers share the same web server but
-own a Tomcat worker of their own.
-</li>
-<li>
-We want different virtual hosts served by different Tomcat processes to provide a
-clear separation between sites belonging to different companies.
-</li>
-<li>
-We want to provide load balancing, meaning run multiple Tomcat workers each on a
-machine of its own and distribute the requests between them.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-There are probably more reasons for having multiple workers but I guess that this list is enough...
-</p>
-<p>
-Tomcat workers are defined in a properties file dubbed <b>workers.properties</b> and this tutorial
-explains how to work with it.

-<p>Often one wants to use the same property values for various workers.
-To reduce duplication of configuration lines and to ease the maintenance of
-the file, you can inherit properties from one worker to another, or even
-from a template to real workers.
-</p>
-<p>
-The directive "reference" allows to copy configurations between workers
-in a hierarchical way. If worker castor sets <b>worker.castor.reference=worker.pollux</b>
-then it inherits all properties of <b>pollux</b>, except for the ones that
-are explicitly set for <b>castor</b>.
-</p>
-<p>
-Please note, that the value of the directive is not only the name of the referred worker,
-but the complete prefix including "worker.".
-</p>
-<p>
-To use a template worker simply define it like a real worker, but do not add it
-to the "worker.list" or as a member to any load balancer. Such a template worker
-does not have to contain mandatory directives. This approach is especially useful,
-if one has a lot of balanced workers in a load balancer
-and these workers share most of their properties. You can set all of these properties
-in a template worker, e.g. using the prefix "worker.template1", and then simply
-reference those common properties in all balanced workers.

-<br>
-<p>Load balancer is a virtual worker that does not really communicate with Tomcat workers.
-Instead it is responsible for the management of several "real" workers.
-The worker is supposed to be a load balancer if it's worker type is <b>lb</b>.
-See worker's <b>type</b> directive.
-</p>
-<p>Loadbalancer directives define the parameters needed to create the workers that are
-connecting to a remote cluster of backend Tomcat servers. Each cluster node has to
-have a worker defined.
-</p>
-<p>
-Load balancer management includes:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-Instantiating the workers in the web server.
-</li>
-<li>
-Using the worker's load-balancing factor, perform weighed-round-robin load balancing where
-high lbfactor means stronger machine (that is going to handle more requests)
-</li>
-<li>
-Keeping requests belonging to the same session executing on the same Tomcat worker.
-</li>
-<li>
-Identifying failed Tomcat workers, suspending requests to them and instead fall-backing on
-other workers managed by the lb worker.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-The overall result is that workers managed by the same lb worker are load-balanced
-(based on their lbfactor and current user session) and also fall-backed so a single
-Tomcat process death will not "kill" the entire site.
-</p>
-<p><font color="#ff0000">
-If you want to use session stickiness, you must set different jvmRoute attributes
-in the Engine element in Tomcat's server.xml. Furthermore the names of the workers
-which are managed by the balancer have to be equal to the jvmRoute of the Tomcat
-instance they connect with.
-</font></p>
-<p>
-The restriction on the worker names can be lifted, if you use the route attribute for the workers.

-conflicting targets, especially when the number
-of sessions is small, or the usage of sessions is extremely varying
-For huge numbers of sessions this usually is not a problem.
-<p>
-Some methods note, that they aggregate in a sliding time window. They add up
-accesses, and on each run of the global maintain method, the load counters

-<p>

-without a session cookie or URL encoding as a new session. This method will neither

-Cachesize defines the number of connections made to the AJP backend that
-are maintained as a connection pool.
-It will limit the number of those connection that each web server child
-process can make.
-<p>
-Cachesize property is used only for multi threaded
-web servers such as Apache 2.0 (worker), IIS and Netscape. The cachesize property
-should reflect the number of threads per child process. JK will discover
-the number of threads per child process on Apache 2 web server with worker-mpm and set
-its default value to match the ThreadsPerChild Apache directive. For IIS the default
-value is 10. For other web servers than Apache or IIS this value has to be set manually.

-Cache timeout property should be used with <b>cachesize</b> to specify how to time JK should keep
-an open socket in cache before closing it. This property should be used to reduce the number of threads
-on the Tomcat web server.
-<p>
-Each child could open an ajp13 connection if it have to forward a request to Tomcat, creating
-a new ajp13 thread on Tomcat side.
-</p>
-<p>
-The problem is that after an ajp13 connection is created, the child won't drop it
-until killed. And since the webserver will keep its childs/threads running
-to handle high-load, even it the child/thread handle only static contents, you could
-finish having many unused ajp13 threads on the Tomcat side.

-The number of seconds that told webserver to cut an ajp13 connection after some time of
-inactivity. When choosing an endpoint for a request and the assigned socket is open, it will be
-closed if it was not used for the configured time.
-It's a good way to ensure that there won't too old threads living on Tomcat side,
-with the extra cost you need to reopen the socket next time a request be forwarded.
-This property is very similar to <b>cache_timeout</b> but works also in non-cache mode.
-If set to value zero (default) no recycle will took place.
