That looks basically correct to me (especially if you're only
considering the 40,000 foot view :-). Lots of details to work out
(like the specific directives and what exactly goes in the server.xml
and web.xml files), but basically on track.
FWIW, the way I'm using it, I disabled the tomcat standalone server
(by commenting out the appropriate Connector tag in server.xml) and
only use it under apache.
BTW, this is the place I meant when I said it was documented on the
tomcat/jakarta site:
