I actually use the warp connector (mod_webapp.so) to connect to my tomcat
server in most cases. The upside is that it simple to implement. The
downside is that it no longer being developed. As far as the connectors jk
vs jk2 go I would probably recommend using jk2 unless you are committed to
an old version of apache.

Another option is to not use connectors at all, use mod_rewrite and do a
reverse proxy. Here is an example of what I have done in apache to reverse
proxy request to an application server backend.

<VirtualHost *>
 ServerName YourVirtual.dot.ca.gov
 DocumentRoot /www/pub/tmp
 ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/YourVirtual_errors.log
 CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/YourVirtual_access.log combined

 ProxyRequests on
 RewriteEngine on

 RewriteLog /usr/local/apache/logs/unsecured_rewrite.log
 #change the log level to 2 or 3 for production
 RewriteLogLevel 9

 RewriteRule ^/$ http://yourapplicationserver.dot.ca.gov:8080/$1 [NC,P]
 </VirtualHost>

Here is a nice article on using proxy and rewrite to connect to an
application server backend.

Hi,

mod_jk2 is more or less undocumented. If you dont't want to dive into
the C sources, be careful. mod_jk comes with quite solid descriptions.
