Yes, Tomcat uses ajp13 and is compatible with the mod_jk2 connector. Yes, jk2 is deprecated and is in the process of being replaced by the ajp13 proxy in Apache 2.1. Apache 2.1 is a development release only and this should show up in Apache 2.2.
Yes, you can use Apache with rewrite rules to create sticky cookie-based sessions and load balancing when using the http connector of Tomcat. Its not the easiest thing, but there are some examples out there. I'd say just use mod_jk2 until Apache 2.2 is available, or look and see if you can get the ajp13 proxy module to work with apache 2.0. Alternatively, you can use the development only web server apache 2.1, but I don't suggest that.

I have one PC with Tomcat installed and I don't need good performance (I just need to test my component). 2) I found out that JK2 was deprecated. Can I use something to be a front-end proxy instead of JK (with sticky sessions: sessions should be moved to another server if and only if server which was serving them went down)? In latest JK2 source distribution I found following: --CUT-- This version matches the version included with tomcat-5.0.2 --CUT-- I have Tomcat 5.5.7 installed.
