How to pass variable from JSP/Jboss to Apache

I'm running Apache on webservers and Jboss on appservers, using mod_jk for integration. I want to run some JSP and return a flag (variable) to Apache. How to do this?

TIA, Vitaly

AJP13 does not support this, but these referenced as future enhancements in the AJPv13 extensions Proposal seem to be what you're looking for:

Quote:

  • context information passed from servlet engine to web server. Part of the configuration of JK, the web server connector, is to indicate to the web server which URI to handle. The mod_jk JkMount directive, told to web server which URI must be forwarded to servlet engine. A servlet engine allready knows which URI it handle and TC 3.3 is allready capable to generate a config file for JK from the list of available contexts.
  • state update of contexts from servlet engine to web server. Big site with farm of Tomcat, like ISP and virtuals hosters, may need to stop a context for admin purposes. In that case the front web server must know that the context is currently down, to eventually relay the request to another Tomcat
