15 November - JK2 is officially unsupported

- -

JK2 has been put in maintainer mode and no further development will take place. -The reason for shutting down JK2 development was the lack of developers interest. -Other reason was lack of users interest in adopting JK2, caused by configuration -complexity when compared to JK. -

The latest official JK2 release is 2.0.4. -

JK2 will have it's successor within core Apache2.1/2.2 distribution. -We have developed new proxy_ajp that is an addition to -the mod_proxy and uses Tomcat's AJP protocol stack. It is developped in httpd-2.1 -and integrated in it. We have also developed a new proxy_balancer module -for load balancing http and ajp protocol stacks. -

JK will be fully supported for all other web servers. The next JK release is -planned for the end of November. Lots of code from JK2 has been ported to JK -
