An ajp - connector would be really helpful for system integration

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Gitblit GO ( 0.8.2 )

It would be awesome to have a ajp connector to integrate the Gitblit GO into a http-server.


This would be consistent to other java app servers and things like e.g. standalone
jenkins/hudson (which includes the winstone servlet container).

As Gitblit GO is using jetty, it should be possible to expose its ajp-interface.

An additional (32KB) jar is needed for this feature 
'org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-ajp:7.4.3.v20110701'

I forgot to mention that this feature request implicates a second ability. 

You need to be able to set the context of the application. 
Instead of https://hostname:8443/ you need to be able,
to set the context to something like https://hostname:8443/appcontext (etc. https://hostname:8443/gitblit/).

Maybe that was obvious, but I just wanted to mention it for the sake of completeness.

I've never used AJP before so to me it was not obvious.  :)  Having said that a few
months ago someone needed to map the context path for mod_proxy. So server.contextPath
was added.

This is implemented on master.

Now that I have done it, I'm wondering how useful it really is since mod_proxy with
http seems to accomplish the same thing and the configuration is nearly identical.

Well as far as I know you can use mod_proxy module with all sort of interfaces like
http, ajp etc. etc.
But e.g. for load-balancing you would need use the ajp-interface. Load-balancing is
obviously not necessary for gitblit. I don't see why someone would try to scale gitblit
;)

As far as I understood the ajp interface is usually the better fitting connector for
java applications. It can be used with mod_jk (which I mostly use exclusive for such
tasks) and it is an easy way to expose an app in the http-server without the app opening
its own http(s) ports.

I guess you could bind the http(s) interface to localhost only and achieve similar
effects.

Still I'm not the expert on the topic, basically I just got used that in general Java-Apps
provide ajp-connectors.
