Gary,
The tomcat docs that are great for that kind of a thing.
Just download a recent version of tomcat and read the docs.
it's easier if you point the doc dir to a web server,
so you can view the html.
particularly pay attention to the mod_jk-howto.html or something like that
file.
It asks most of your questions.

Subject: tomcat specifics
I'm looking to know how someone would explain how the servlet container
interacts with the web server.
Things like, what exactly is a container, how requests are forwared to the
container, how the connections are made, the overhead, namespacing, etc...
Or even point me to a few refs about this.
Any help much appreciated.
