Apache JServ Protocol
The Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) is a binary protocol that forwards incoming requests from a web server to an application server behind it . It also supports certain monitoring capabilities, e.g. B. it can ping the application server . AJP is typically used in load balancing environments in which one or more front-end servers forward requests to one or more application servers. Routing mechanisms ensure that the requests that belong to a session end up on the correct server.
AJP is implemented in the Apache HTTP Server as a mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp module.
Apache Tomcat and Jetty as well as Undertow support AJP.
