IMPORTANT NOTE: The AJP/1.3 Connector is now deprecated. Use the
Coyote JK Connector instead.
The AJP/1.3 Connector element represents a
Connector component that communicates with a web
connector via the JK protocol (also known as the AJP protocol).
This is used for cases where you wish to invisibly integrate Tomcat 4 into
an existing (or new) web server installation, and you want the web server to
handle the static content contained in the web application, and/or utilize
the web server's SSL processing. In many application environments, this will
result in better overall performance than running your applications under
Tomcat stand-alone using the Coyote HTTP/1.1
Connector. However, the only way to know for sure whether it will
provide better performance for your application is to try
it both ways.
This connector supports load balancing when used in conjunction with
the jvmRoute attribute of the
Engine.

Attributes |
Common Attributes |
All implementations of Connector
support the following attributes:
Attribute | Description |
---|
className |
Java class name of the implementation to use. This class must
implement the org.apache.catalina.Connector interface.
You must specify the standard value defined below.
| enableLookups |
Set to true if you want calls to
request.getRemoteHost() to perform DNS lookups in
order to return the actual host name of the remote client. Set
to false to skip the DNS lookup and return the IP
address in String form instead (thereby improving performance).
By default, DNS lookups are disabled.
| redirectPort |
If this Connector is supporting non-SSL
requests, and a request is received for which a matching
<security-constraint> requires SSL transport,
Catalina will automatically redirect the request to the port
number specified here.
| scheme |
Set this attribute to the name of the protocol you wish to have
returned by calls to request.getScheme() . For
example, you would set this attribute to "https "
for an SSL Connector. The default value is "http ".
| secure |
Set this attribute to true if you wish to have
calls to request.isSecure() to return true
for requests received by this Connector (you would want this on an
SSL Connector). The default value is false .

Standard Implementation |
The standard implementation of JK/AJP Connector is
org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector.
This implementation supports the JK 1.3 and 1.4 protocols
(also known as AJP 1.3 and 1.4).
It supports the following additional attributes (in addition to the
common attributes listed above):
Attribute | Description |
---|
acceptCount |
The maximum queue length for incoming connection requests when
all possible request processing threads are in use. Any requests
received when the queue is full will be refused. The default
value is 10.
| address |
For servers with more than one IP address, this attribute
specifies which address will be used for listening on the specified
port. By default, this port will be used on all IP addresses
associated with the server.
| debug |
The debugging detail level of log messages generated by this
component, with higher numbers creating more detailed output.
If not specified, this attribute is set to zero (0).
| maxProcessors |
The maximum number of request processing threads to be created
by this Connector, which therefore determines the
maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If
not specified, this attribute is set to 20.
NOTE:For Apache 1.3 on Unix there is a 1 to 1 mapping
between httpd processes and Ajp13Processors. You must configure
maxProcessors to be greater than or equal to the maximum number
of httpd processes your Apache web server spawns.
| minProcessors |
The number of request processing threads that will be created
when this Connector is first started. This
attribute should be set to a value smaller than that set for
maxProcessors . The default value is 5.
| port |
The TCP port number on which this Connector
will create a server socket and await incoming connections. Your
operating system will allow only one server application to listen
to a particular port number on a particular IP address.
| tomcatAuthentication |
This flag, which value defaults to true , indicates
whether or not authentication will be handled by Tomcat or the native
web server. If the attribute value is true , any pricipal
authenticated by the native web server will be ignored, and Tomcat will
take care of the authentication. If the attribute value
is false , Tomcat will not attempt to authenticate
a principal if the native web server has already authenticated one.
