Linking Apache httpd to Apache Tomcat

As well as httpd and Tomcat downloads, you'll need mod_jk and then you'll need to configure it. I've seen some long explanations ... so here's a "bare bones" for the configuration files:
Onto the end of httpd.conf:
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile /usr/local/tomcat/conf/jk/workers.properties
JkMount /*.jsp catkin
Into the workers property file mentioned
worker.list=catkin
worker.catkin.type=ajp13
worker.catkin.host=localhost
worker.catkin.port=8009

Update - 10th December 2005. The story's updated again. With the new Apache 2.2 httpd server, the jk support is provided as part of the download and no longer has to be sourced separately - a good move that removes at least one loop from the process.
