This document explains how to connect Tomcat to the popular open source web server, Apache httpd.
There is actually three versions of Apache HTTP Server, 1.3, 2.0 and 2.2 and all can be used with mod_jk,
the Tomcat redirector module.
</p>
<p>
It is recommended that you also read the
<a href="../generic_howto/workers.html">Workers HowTo</a> document
to learn how to setup the working entities between your web server and Tomcat Engines.
For more detailed configuration information consult the Reference Guide for
<a href="../reference/worker.html">workers.properties</a>,
<a href="../reference/uriworkermap.html">uriworkermap</a>
and <a href="../reference/apache.html">Apache</a>.
</p>
<p><b>Waring: If Apache HTTP Server and Tomcat are configured to serve content from
the same filing system location then care must be taken to ensure that httpd is
not able to serve inappropriate content such as the contents of the WEB-INF
directory or JSP source code.</b> This could occur if the httpd DocumentRoot
overlaps with a Tomcat Host's appBase or the docBase of any Context. It could
also occur when using the httpd Alias directive with a Tomcat Host's appBase or
the docBase of any Context.
</p>
<p>
This document was originally part of <b>Tomcat: A Minimalistic User's Guide</b> written by Gal Shachor,
but has been split off for organisational reasons.

<p>
In a nutshell a web server is waiting for client HTTP requests.
When these requests arrive the server does whatever is needed to serve the
requests by providing the necessary content.
</p>
<p>
Adding a servlet container may somewhat change this behaviour.
Now the web server needs also to perform the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Load the servlet container adaptor library and initialise it (prior to serving requests).
</li>
<li>
When a request arrives, it needs to check and see if a certain request belongs to a servlet,
if so it needs to let the adaptor take the request and handle it.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The adaptor on the other hand needs to know what requests it is going to serve,
usually based on some pattern in the request URL, and to where to direct these requests.
</p>
<p>
Things are even more complex when the user wants to set a configuration that uses virtual hosts,
or when they want multiple developers to work on the same web server
but on different servlet container JVMs.
We will cover these two cases in the advanced sections.

<p>
mod_jk can be obtained in two formats - binary and source.
Depending on the platform you are running your web server on, a binary version of mod_jk may be available.
</p>
<p>
It is recommended to use the binary version if one is available.
If the binary is not available, follow the instructions for building mod_jk from source.
The mod_jk source can be downloaded from a mirror
<a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi">
here</a>
</p>
<p>
The binaries for mod_jk are now available for several platforms.
The binaries are located in subdirectories by platform.
</p>
<p>
For some platforms, such as Windows, this is the typical way of obtaining mod_jk
since most Windows systems do not have C compilers.
</p>
<p>
For others, the binary distribution of mod_jk offers simpler installation.
</p>
<p>
For example JK 1.2.x can be downloaded from a mirror
<a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi">
here</a> (look for JK 1.2 Binary Releases). The "JK 1.2 Binary Releases" link contains binary version for a variety of
operating systems for both Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.

<p>
mod_jk requires two entities:
<ul>
<li>
<b>mod_jk.xxx</b> - The Apache HTTP Server module, depending on your operating system, it will be mod_jk.so, mod_jk.nlm or
or MOD_JK.SRVPGM (see the build section).
</li>
<li>
<b>workers.properties</b> - A file that describes the host(s) and port(s) used by the workers (Tomcat processes).
A sample workers.properties can be found under the conf directory in the source download.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Also as with other Apache HTTP Server modules, mod_jk should be first installed on the modules directory of your
Apache webserver, ie : /usr/lib/apache and you should update your <b>httpd.conf</b> file.

<p>
The auto-configure works only for a single Tomcat running on the same machine where Apache HTTP Server is running.
The simplest way to configure Apache HTTP Server to use mod_jk is to turn on the Apache HTTP Server auto-configure setting
in Tomcat and put the following include directive at the end of your Apache httpd.conf file
(make sure you replace $TOMCAT_HOME with the correct path for your Tomcat installation:
</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
#To be added at the end of your httpd.conf
Include $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf-auto
</pre></div>
<p>
Note: this file may also be generated as $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
</p>
<p>
This will tell Apache HTTP Server to use directives in the <b>mod_jk.conf-auto</b> file in
the Apache configuration. This file is created by enabling the Apache
auto-configuration by creating your workers.properties file at
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/jk/workers.properties and adding the listener to the Engine
element in the server.xml file as per the following example.
<b>Please note that this example is specific to Tomcat 5.x, unlike other sections of this document
which also apply to previous Tomcat branches.</b>
</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
...
<Engine ...>
...
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig" modJk="/path/to/mod_jk.so" />
...
</Engine>
...
</pre></div>
<p>
Then restart Tomcat and mod_jk.conf should be generated. For more information on
this topic, please refer to the API documentation at the
<a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/jk/config/ApacheConfig.html">

You should use custom configuration when :

You couldn't use <b>mod_jk.conf-auto</b> since Tomcat engine isn't on the same machine that your Apache web server,
ie when you have an Apache in front of a Tomcat Farm.
</li>
<li>
Another case for custom configuration is when your Apache is in front of many different Tomcat engines,
each one having it's own configuration, a general case in ISP hosting

<p>
The directive JkOptions allow you to set many forwarding options which will enable (+)
or disable (-) following option. Without any leading signs, options will be enabled.
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
The four following options <b>+ForwardURIxxx</b> are mutually exclusive.
Exactly one of them is required, a negative sign prefix is not allowed with them.
The default value is "ForwardURIProxy" since version 1.2.24.
It was "ForwardURICompatUnparsed" in version 1.2.23 and
"ForwardURICompat" until version 1.2.22.
You can turn the default off by switching on one of the other two options.
You should leave this at it's default value, unless you have a very good
reason to change it.
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
All options are inherited from the global server to virtual hosts.
Options that support enabling (plus options) and disabling (minus options),
are inherited in the following way:
<br>
<br>
options(vhost) = plus_options(global) - minus_options(global) + plus_options(vhost) - minus_options(vhost)
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
Using JkOptions <b>ForwardURIProxy</b>, the forwarded URI
will be partially reencoded after processing inside Apache httpd and
before forwarding to Tomcat. This will be compatible with local
URL manipulation by mod_rewrite and with URL encoded session ids.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardURIProxy
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
Using JkOptions <b>ForwardURICompatUnparsed</b>, the forwarded URI
will be unparsed. It's spec compliant and secure.
It will always forward the original request URI, so rewriting
URIs with mod_rewrite and then forwarding the rewritten URI
will not work.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
Using JkOptions <b>ForwardURICompat</b>, the forwarded URI will
be decoded by Apache httpd. Encoded characters will be decoded and
explicit path components like ".." will already be resolved.
This is less spec compliant and is <b>not safe</b> if you are using
prefix JkMount. This option will allow to rewrite URIs with
mod_rewrite before forwarding.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardURICompat
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
Using JkOptions <b>ForwardURIEscaped</b>, the forwarded URI will
be the encoded form of the URI used by ForwardURICompat.
Explicit path components like ".." will already be resolved.
This will not work in combination with URL encoded session IDs,
but it will allow to rewrite URIs with mod_rewrite before forwarding.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardURIEscaped
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>RejectUnsafeURI</b> will block all
URLs, which contain percent signs '%' or backslashes '\'
after decoding.
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
Most web apps do not use such URLs. Using the option RejectUnsafeURI, you
can block several well known URL encoding attacks. By default, this option
is not set.
</p>
<p>
You can also realise such a check with mod_rewrite, which is more powerful
but also slightly more complicated.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +RejectUnsafeURI
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>ForwardDirectories</b> is used in conjunction with <b>DirectoryIndex</b>
directive of Apache web server. As such mod_dir should be available to Apache,
statically or dynamically (DSO)
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
When DirectoryIndex is configured, Apache will create sub-requests for
each of the local-url's specified in the directive, to determine if there is a
local file that matches (this is done by stat-ing the file).
</p>
<p>
If ForwardDirectories is set to false (default) and Apache doesn't find any
files that match, Apache will serve the content of the directory (if directive
Options specifies Indexes for that directory) or a <b class="code">403 Forbidden</b> response (if
directive Options doesn't specify Indexes for that directory).
</p>
<p>
If ForwarDirectories is set to true and Apache doesn't find any files that
match, the request will be forwarded to Tomcat for resolution. This is used in
cases when Apache cannot see the index files on the file system for various
reasons: Tomcat is running on a different machine, the JSP file has been
precompiled etc.
</p>
<p>Note that locally visible files will take precedence over the
ones visible only to Tomcat (i.e. if Apache can see the file, that's the one
that's going to get served). This is important if there is more then one type of
file that Tomcat normally serves - for instance Velocity pages and JSP pages.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardDirectories
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>ForwardLocalAddress</b>, you ask mod_jk to send the local address,
of the Apache web server instead remote client address. This can be used by
Tomcat remote address valve for allowing connections only from registered Apache
web servers.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardLocalAddress
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>FlushPackets</b>, you ask mod_jk to flush Apache's connection
buffer after each AJP packet chunk received from Tomcat. This option can have
a strong performance penalty for Apache and Tomcat as writes are performed
more often than would normally be required (ie: at the end of each
response).
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +FlushPackets
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>FlushHeader</b>, you ask mod_jk to flush Apache's connection
buffer after the response headers have been received from Tomcat.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +FlushHeader
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>DisableReuse</b>, you ask mod_jk to close connections immediately
after their use. Normally mod_jk uses persistent connections and pools idle
connections to reuse them, when new requests have to be sent to Tomcat.
</p>
<p>
Using this option will have a strong performance penalty for Apache and Tomcat.
Use this only as a last resort in case of unfixable network problems.
If a firewall between Apache and Tomcat silently kills idle connections,
try to use the worker attribute socket_keepalive in combination with an appropriate
TCP keepalive value in your OS.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +DisableReuse
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>ForwardKeySize</b>, you ask mod_jk, when using ajp13, to forward also the SSL Key Size as
required by Servlet API 2.3.
This flag shouldn't be set when servlet engine is Tomcat 3.2.x (off by default).
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
JkOptions <b>ForwardSSLCertChain</b>, you ask mod_jk, when using ajp13,
to forward SSL certificate chain (off by default).
Mod_jk only passes the <b class="code">SSL_CLIENT_CERT</b> to the AJP connector. This is not a
problem with self-signed certificates or certificates directly signed by the
root CA certificate. However, there's a large number of certificates signed by
an intermediate CA certificate, where this is a significant problem: A servlet
will not have the possibility to validate the client certificate on its own. The
bug would be fixed by passing on the <b class="code">SSL_CLIENT_CERT_CHAIN</b> to Tomcat via the AJP connector.
<br>
This directive exists only since version 1.2.22.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkOptions +ForwardSSLCertChain
</pre></div>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>
The directive <b>JkEnvVar</b> allows you to forward environment variables
from Apache server to Tomcat engine.
You can add a default value as a second parameter to the directive.
If the default value is not given explicitly, the variable
will only be send, if it is set during runtime.
<br>
The variables can be retrieved on the Tomcat side as request attributes
via request.getAttribute(attributeName).
Note that the variables send via JkEnvVar will not be listed
in request.getAttributeNames().
<br>
<br>
The variables are inherited from the global server to virtual hosts.
<div class="example"><pre>
JkEnvVar SSL_CLIENT_V_START undefined

<p>
If the Tomcat Host appBase (webapps) directory is accessible by the Apache web server,
Apache can be configured to serve web application context directory static files instead
of passing the request to Tomcat.
</p>
<p>
Caution: For security reasons is is strongly recommended that JkMount is used to
pass all requests to Tomcat by default and JkUnMount is used to explicitly
exclude static content to be served by httpd. It should also be noted that
content served by httpd will bypass any security constraints defined in the
application's web.xml.
</p>
<p>Use Apache's <b>Alias</b> directive to map a single web application context directory into Apache's
document space for a VirtualHost:
</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
# Static files in the examples webapp are served by apache
Alias /examples /vat/tomcat3/webapps/examples
# All requests go to worker1 by default
JkMount /* worker1
# Serve html, jpg and gif using httpd
JkUnMount /*.html worker1
JkUnMount /*.jpg worker1
JkUnMount /*.gif worker1
</pre></div>
<p>
Starting with mod_jk 1.2.6 for Apache 2.0/2.2 and 1.2.19 for Apache 1.3, it's possible to exclude some URL/URI from
jk processing by setting the env var <b>no-jk</b>, for example with the SetEnvIf Directive.
</p>
<p>
You could use <b>no-jk</b> env var to fix problem with mod_alias or mod_userdir
directive when jk and alias/userdir URLs matches.
</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
# All URL goes to tomcat except the one containing /home
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName testxxx.mysys
DocumentRoot /www/testxxx/htdocs
# Use SetEnvIf to st no-jk when /home/ is encountered
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/home/*" no-jk
# Now /home will goes to /home/dataxxx/
Alias /home /home/dataxxx/
<Directory "/home/dataxxx">

JkMount /* myssys-xxx

<p>
Use the mod_jk <b>JkAutoAlias</b> directive to map all web application context directories
into Apache's document space.
</p>
<p>
Attempts to access the WEB-INF or META-INF directories within a web application context
or a Web Archive *.war within the Tomcat Host appBase (webapps) directory will fail with an
<b class="code">HTTP 403, Access Forbidden</b>
</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
# Static files in all Tomcat webapp context directories are served by apache
JkAutoAlias /var/tomcat3/webapps
# All requests go to worker1 by default
JkMount /* ajp13
# Serve html, jpg and gif using httpd
JkUnMount /*.html ajp13
JkUnMount /*.jpg ajp13
JkUnMount /*.gif ajp13
</pre></div>
<p>
If you encoded all your URLs to contain the session id
(<b class="code">;jsessionid=...</b>), and you later decide, you want to
move part of the content to Apache httpd, you can tell
mod_jk to strip off all session ids from URLs for
those requests, that do not get forwarded via mod_jk.
</p>
<p>
You enable this feature by setting JkStripSession to On.
It can be enabled individually for virtual servers. The default
value is Off.

In case you build mod_jk for a multi-threaded Apache httpd 2.0/2.2 MPM (Multi-Processing Module),
some areas of mod_jk code need to be synchronised to make it thread-safe.
Because configure can not easily detect, whether your are using a multi-threaded MPM,
mod_jk by default is always build thread-safe for Apache httpd 2.0/2.2.
If you are sure, that your MPM is not multi-threaded, you can use "--enable-prefork"
to force the removal of the synchronisation code (thus increasing performance a bit).
For instance, the prefork MPM is not multi-threaded. For Apache httpd 1.3
this flag will be set automatically.</td>

<tr valign="top"><td>--disable-trace</td>

When using log level "trace", mod_jk traces a lot of function calls with
"enter" and "exit" log messages. Even if the log level is not "trace",
comparing the log levels to decide about logging has some performance
impact.<br>
If you use "--disable-trace", then the trace log code doesn't get compiled
into the module binary and you might save some cycles during execution.<br>
Even with "--disable-trace" logging debug messages with debug log level
will still be possible.</td>

<tr valign="top"><td>--enable-api-compatibility</td>

Only use httpd API functions available in all httpd production releases

Since OS400 V4R5, System I (AS/400) has used Apache 2.0 as their primary web server,
replacing the old IBM webserver.
It's now possible to build mod_jk on System I thanks to the help of the IBM
Rochester Labs which has provided information and patches to adapt mod_jk to i5/OS.
</p>
<p>
You should have at least Apache 2.0.58 (product 5722DG1), a C Compiler and IFS.
Apache 2.0.58 is provided with the most recent set of PTFs for the iSeries Apache
server, which can be found at <a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/">
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/</a>
</p>
<p>
The all latest Apache 2 for i5/OS V5R3 (or V5R4) is now 2.0.58 (as of 2007/04/17).
Be sure to have the latest PTFs loaded if you want to make use of jk 1.2.15 and higher.
NB: The latest mod_jk known to work on i5/OS V5R3 was 1.2.19.
</p>
<p>
New in i5/OS V5R4, UTF is required, also for Apache modules, as such Apache modules do not require
translations to/from EBCDIC but works should be done to port mod_jk 1.2.23 (and higher) to V5R4.
From the V5R4 Infocenter :
As of i5/OS(tm) V5R4, modules must be recompiled with a UTF locale. This creates an environment where locale-dependent C runtime functions assume
that string data is encoded in UTF-8. Any hardcoded constants can be encoded in UTF-8 by adding a #pragma convert(1208) statement in the module.
Additionally, input data from the client will no longer be converted to EBCDIC but will be passed as-is.
Output data sent from the module is not converted either so it must be encoded in ASCII or UTF8 as required.
APR and HTTP APIs as of V5R4, expect data in UTF-8. Note that several APIs have additional functions that allow a CCSID to be set to
indicate the encoding of the parameters being passed. Conversion functions between UTF-8 and EBCDIC have been added.
Be sure to review APIs used by your module to be aware of current changes.
</p>
<p>
To configure mod_jk on System I use the CL source provided with the mod_jk source.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Get the latest mod_jk source and untar it on a Windows or Unix boxes
</li>
<li>
Create a directory in IFS, ie /home/apache

mod_jk allows to install mod_jk in the Apache source tree to get a statically
linked mod_jk. Having mod_jk in the httpd executable brings some performance
improvements. The configure option --with-apache prepare mod_jk to install it
in the Apache source tree.
The option --with-apache works both for Apache-1.3 and Apache-2.0.
The examples below show how to get mod_jk in the httpd process.
