All I can say is that I googled around extensively, trying to learn how to set up Tomcat 5.5 with Apache 2.2 as the front end, and found many sites saying to stay away from mod_jk, along with mailing list messages about the problems people were having with it. It goes without saying, that when you have to depend on mailing list messages for documentation of any problem, you have a high likelihood of getting it wrong. Especially when you are under the gun and trying to complete a project and not wanting to spend all this time figuring out how to do what ought to be quite straightforward. The Apache Software Foundation produces some of the best and most useful software in the world. They simultaneously produce some of the worst user documentation for that software. If you want to achieve a shortlived feeling of amazement, go to http://www.apache.org and search for the expression mod_jk. You'll get four hits for mod_proxy. Now search for "mod_jk" (with quotation marks). You'll get two mailing list messages from the httpd mailing list.

I wanted to set up Apache 2.2 with Tomcat 5.5, to proxy user directories (/home/user/public_html) with Apache to serve static content and Tomcat to serve JSP/servlets. Nothing. Zip. Nada. I know I'm not the only person that ever wanted to do this. But I could not find documenation anywhere. Hell, I'd buy the book if there was one available. It really made me appreciate how well-organized other free software projects are, that do provide targeted documentation for their end users.
