A protocol similar with AJP. It's one of the oldest wire protocols, used
mostly in NFS ( right now there is a kernel-based implementation for Linux,
and very fast implementations in all OS ). It is used for RPC also.

It doesn't have all the overhead of IIOP - but it's more complex than AJP.

Yes!

Regarding configuration/monitoring - a web based interface would be great
( maybe in form of independent servlets/JSP pages ).
If we'll really integrate tomcat with Apache, it would be nice to also
support
apache monitoring and control - it's much easier to do it in Servlets/JPS
than
in C :-)
