The workers.properties file should be on the Apache machine. The
problem you're running into is that the documentation usually assumes
Tomcat and Apache are on the same machine, and it's leading you
to believe that workers.properties has something to do with Tomcat.
workers.properties is only relevant to mod_jk running on Apache, not
to Tomcat. If you need the example file provided with Tomcat, just copy
it over to the Apache machine from a distribution of Tomcat and point
JkWorkersFile to the right place on the local file system.
And yes, it does work. I've run several development and production
systems this way.
