Apache mod_jk has a failover capability when the target tomcat server is down (not responding on the AJP port). But is there a way to trigger failover when tomcat is still up but the process is dead for all practical purposes of the application (JVM responsive on the AJP port but the application keeps on generating 500 errors). Suppose the condition is detected inside the tomcat JVM, is there a way to signal it to mod_jk?
Thanks!
