mod_jk w/ tomcat 4: worker file not found

["Polito, John" <JP...@cdp.ucsf.edu>]

hi, folks.

i'm running tomcat + apache via mod_jk on openbsd 3.0, and have had some problems with mod_jk. after starting apache (via apachectl sslstart), i consistently see the following in apache's error_log:
---
[Fri Aug  2 11:51:48 2002] [error] Error while opening the workers, jk will not work

[Fri Aug  2 11:51:53 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: Error while opening the workers, jk will not work
---
playing around with mod_jk.c and jk_map.c, the error condition occurs because conf->worker_file is non-null when called during set-up in jk_set_worker_file(), but is null by the time that jk_init() calls map_read_properties().

i'm guessing that i've either configured something incorrectly or have some incompatible components; can anyone advise? if i set conf->worker_file to my workers.properties file's absolute path before passing it to map_read_properties(), the error is no longer reported and i can make a socket connection based on a redirect, etc.

system details:
OpenBSD 3.0
mod_jk 1.2.0
apache 1.3.19
tomcat 4.0.4 
jdk1.3.1_04

has anyone else run into this? or is there something odd about the component-and-version list above that catches someone's eye? thanks much -jp2
