In my case, Tomcat hangs were caused by JVM problems and not related to
Tomcat itself.  This and badly behaved apps causing OOM conditions are
probably the most common failure modes.

The new code in the JK connectors allow mod_jk to "ping" Tomcat with a
short timeout before sending a request there to determine if Tomcat is
alive or not.  This is useful when you have multiple Tomcats running, not
quite as useful if you only have one Tomcat running but will keep Apache
processes from waiting around forever for a response from a hung Tomcat.

Last I heard, the next release of mod_jk will be worked on after the JK
developers have released the next version of mod_jk2.  This should happen
in the next few weeks.  It is a real solution, not a band-aid.
