Here's a copy of information from the list a while back. I would post the
url to the archived message, but I don't have that at the
moment. Attribution of this solution goes to the original poster, not
myself...

Here it goes.................

Machine A (Apache), Machine B (tomcat)
---------------------------------------------

httpd.conf changes...
---------------------
Below # LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

Add following lines
#
# Load mod_jk
#
LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
#
# Configure mod_jk
#
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel debug

Below DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"

Add following lines...

JkMount /examples ajp13
JkMount /examples/* ajp13

(if you want to configure a application examples running under webapps
on tomcat, just specify /examples, you need not sepcify the full path
of the application)

Then create workers.properties under $Apache_Home$/conf/ like this

# In Unix, we use forward slashes:
ps=/

# list the workers by name
worker.list=ajp13

#
worker.ajp13.port=8009(ajp13 port from server.xml on tomcat machine)
worker.ajp13.host=hostname(Machine B)
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13

(no need to define tomcat_home and java_home parameters here, you define
them on catalina.sh on tomcat machine)

this is all you need to do on apache machine.......

server.xml changes on Machine B(tomcat machine)
------------------------------------------------------

Set the required environment variables JAVA_HOME AND CATALINA_HOME in
$TOMCAT_HOME$/bin/catalina.sh

Commen out the Standalone HTTP port(port 8080) Connector.



Also Comment out the WARP connector

<Service name="Tomcat-Apache">


Change the both the <Engine> Tag and <Host> tag defaultHost to tomcat
hostName(ex: tomcat.apache.com)
(This should match with your workers.properties host name.)

<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="tomcat.apache.com" debug="0">
<Host name="tomcat.apache.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true">
</Host>
</Engine>

start tomcat and apache, you should be able to access examples from
apache machine....

I have pretty much followed the http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/
documentation......many many thanks to Pascal Forget.

Let me know, how it goes...............
