mod_jk2 searches for '*.properties' in "`apxs -q prefix`/conf" instead of `apxs -q sysconfdir` by default.
As of November 15, 2004, JK2 is no longer supported. All bugs related to JK2 will be marked as WONTFIX. In its place, some of its features have been backported to jk1. Most of those features will be seen in 1.2.7, which is slated for release on November 30th, 2004. Another alternative is the ajp addition to mod_proxy which will be part of apache 2.
