Questions about mod_jk
I have seen a jboss implementation where they use mod_jk module running with apache on the same host, when I check workers.properties there are no other hosts listed other than the host itself.
What's wrong with the default jboss webserver? I can clearly see that there is no configuration of load balancing here so why would they need to use apache + mod_jk
Thanks

I believe you have answered my question
So for multi-app stuff apache is simpler to manage (ssl, AAA, compression ...) while application specific configurations are better done on the J2EE container.
Example
On J2EE every app is responsable for lot's it's security and access configuration while with an apache frontend you can manage those based on a directory/url level (simpler)
