Help Apache2.0 with Tomcat4 (mod_jk or mod_jk2 or mod_webapp ?)

[Heligon Sandra <Sa...@nextream.fr>]

	Hi,

	I am working on a web application.
	I used the default Tomcat4.0.4 configuration until now.
	(standalone mode execution).
	I would like to use Apache and Tomcat together but I don't	
	understand what I must do.
	The configuration is very hard, there are a lot of elements
	httpd.conf, server.xml, mod_jk.dll or mod_jk2.dll or
mod_webapp.dll...
	I don't know what module I must use ?
	
	My environment is the following:
	- Windows 2000
	- Tomcat4.0.4 (I believe that the new version 4.1 is better with JSP
but it implies
	new configuration yet)
	- Apache2.0.39 (it's the last stable version, I believe)

	I don't know the new features of mod_jk2 vs mod_jk vs mod_webapp.
	Do I have to create a <context> element for each web application
with mod_jk
	or can each application deploy automatically ?

	If I want to use mod_jk2, how can I get the mod_jk.dll associated to
Tomcat4.0.4
	and Apache2.0.39 ?

	I read that it is possible to enable Apache -Tomcat automatically
with include
	the file mod_jk.conf-auto in the httpd.conf.
	How is the mod_jk.conf-auto file generated ?
	
	Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you are forced to use Windoze as I am. I recommend to use LINUX 
if possible. So, then forget mod_webapp as this module is more than 
unstable. Take mod_jk2. This you should get here:

There are different ways of deploying webapps. Take a look here:

My tutorial is not fixed.
