Apache Web Server - Mod jk
Does mod_jk changes how Apache web server handles its connection with the clients?
Mod jk is a module that runs within the Apache web server. Apache web server will manage the connections between itself and the clients, usually web browsers or a load balancer, and pass the request to a chain of modules.
Using the example described in an
Apache module tutorial, a module will register a hook with the web server and the web server will pass a
request_rec to the module.
