Reference Guide
workers.properties A Tomcat worker is a Tomcat instance that is waiting to execute servlets 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. This page contains detailed description of all workers.properties directives. uriworkermap.properties The forwarding of requests from the web server to tomcat gets configured by defining mapping rules. The so-called uriworkermap file is a mechanism of defining those rules. Status Worker The status worker is a builtin management worker. It displays state information and can also be used to dynamically reconfigure JK. Apache This page contains detailed description of all directives related to Apache web server. IIS This page contains detailed description of all IIS directives.
