mod_proxy_ajp? Yet another twist. Its just hard for me to believe that "how do I integrate tomcat and apache httpd?" is such a mystery / unknown.
This seems like it would be question #1 on any Tomcat FAQ.

So where can I found out more about mod_proxy_ajp. Is there a Tomcat
resource which explains the configuration of it?


Nope, since it all under the Httpd project :).  You can start with:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html, and then move on to
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html.

The simplest configuration looks like:
  ProxyPass /myapp ajp://localhost:8009/myapp

Ok, I understand what it is trying to do here. But I assume there is a connector that has to be loaded in Tomcat to enable listening for the ajp protocol on port 8009, no? Is there documentation about this anywhere?

After wasting time trying to configure mod_jk, I thought I'd just wipe my mind free and just play dumb for a moment. If Apache can proxy requests using mod_proxy, what is the benefit of using mod_jk as an integration technique between httpd and tomcat, if integration is *not* in- process,
which I understand is not recommended for Tomcat 5.5?



Actually, in-process with mod_jk is only supported (and, I use the term lightly :) for TC 3.3.x. For any higher versions it doesn't work at all.

You've managed to grasp the deep, dark plan of the Tomcat developers: It is expected that people will migrate to mod_proxy_ajp with Httpd 2.2+, and mod_jk is expected to move to supporting IIS/SunOne only (and, the later
only if somebody steps up with interest :).
