Intro

Jk2 uses a config file ( workers2.properties ) in the style of a .properties or ini file. It can be configured to use any other backend that provides similar capabilities.

This document describes the format of this configuration file. Its default name is ${serverRoot}/conf/workers2.properties, where ${serverRoot} is something like /opt/apache.


Config file

The default config file is user editable, but mod_jk will persist the changes requested by protocol( not implemented). If you manually change the file while jk2 is working, your changes will be lost.

The default configuration format . . Each setting consists of an object name and a property, with the associated value. The property name is a simple string, with no '.' in it. The name can be anything, but it must have a known 'type' as prefix.

2 formats are supported:

                TYPE:NAME.PROPERTY=VALUE 
            

and

                [TYPE:NAME]
                PROPERTY=VALUE
