I'm assuming that you want this for Tomcat 5.5.
You need something like:
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
forwardAll="false" noRoot="false" />
The simplest is to put this under the <Engine> tag, but it won't give you
your 3). To get that, you need to put it under your <Context> tag (in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/<engine>/<host>/myapp.xml). You probably also want to
specify an attribute like jkConfig="/path/to/tomcat/conf/auto/myapp_jk.conf"
to prevent stupid overwrites on context reloads. Of course, you have to
include all of these in httpd.conf :).

It's created at Tomcat startup if you are using the <Engine> placement.
It's created at Context startup if you are using the <Context> placement.
If forwardAll="false", it gets the information from your <servlet-mappings>,
as well as j_security_check if you are using FORM auth.

Using `apachectl graceful` always works for me :).
