Hi André, Thanks for the reply. Details are below. Before that would like to mention - I am new to mod_perl usage and the setup is only on my dev machine where I am testing the scenario described. Therefore looking for the right directions from the experienced users in this group. Sample code/reference to such would help very much. > What is the connector module used between Apache httpd and JBOSS ?

By adverse effects I meant if I write a perl program that receives the response from the jboss server, that does some pattern matching and replaces a few strings from each response will it slow down the server significantly? Am I better off handling this in a servlet filter? On mod_perl - some pointers to get started with such request intercepting will be great as I have not worked with it before. Many thanks well in advance for the much needed inputs!

Does mod_perl allow this with no adverse effects? Define "adverse effects" ? mod_perl may allow you to modify the JBOSS reponse, if it is possible to insert a mod_perl handler in the right place to modify the response coming from JBOSS, before it is returned to the client. If yes, then how do we go about it? Maybe by remembering first that you are on a support list manned by volunteers, where being gracious helps getting answers.
