It's actually rather simple:
0. Download the latest Tomcat (3.2.1 or later)
1. Download the mod_jk instead of the *deprecated* mod_jserv
2. Follow the Tomcat/Apache integration docs included with your Tomcat
distribution
mod_jserv has been deprecated for quite some time now in favour of mod_jk
when it comes to Tomcat/Apache integration. Once you have the correct
module, the documentation included with Tomcat when it comes to Apache
integration is really all you need. Note that you must not place Tomcat in
a path with spaces in directory names anywhere, up or down stream (e.g. it
cannot reside in C:\Program Files) - you won't be able to configure
wrapper.properties needed for mod_jk as it doesn't handle spaces.

Emir.
