That's okay, but you need to be ready when your customer says "hey,
Tomcat 5.5.x is no longer supported: we need to upgrade".

Fair enough: it's always worth asking. Lots of people think that
Apache httpd is, for some reason, required.

I would delete the option altogether - per the documentation - and
allow mod_jk to select the appropriate setting.

A big waste of memory and a lot of needless overhead. I dunno how
mod_jk manages its connections, but it might immediately open 1200
connections per prefork process to your backend, which can waste a lot
of resources, too.
