Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux

Situation

Can't find any package regarding Tomcat/Apache mod_jk connector.

Resolution

SLES 10 no longer includes mod_jk for connecting Tomcat and Apache.
Apache 2.2 (shipped with SLES 10) includes mod_proxy_ajp which provides a new way for Apache to forward requests on to Tomcat.
Developer and administrators will either need to download and compile their own Apache Tomcat connector or use mod_proxy_ajp to handle these connections.
