IMHO: Unfortunately the online documentation isn't always that good.
e.g., trying to get a good doc on setting up Apache & Tomcat using
mod_jk requires digging through a lot of stuff that is out of date or
wrong. Too much of the online docs refer to mod_jserve or haven't been
properly updated for mod_jk.
For example, the Tomcat User Guide makes no mention of mod_jk even
though this seems to be an important step forward in configuring virtual
hosts. The Tomcat-Apache howto mentions mod_jk but manages to be totally
useless because it fails to give the the correct sample code for the
server.xml file (it repeats the httpd.conf code by mistake - this has
been going on for a long time and has never been fixed). It also is
hoelessly interwoven with mod_jserve examples so that it's next to
impossible to figure out anyway.
The mod_jk howto gets things right, I believe, but isn't very clear on
the apparent need to repeat stuff that is also in mod_jk.conf-auto.
Then of course there is the problem of finding online docs in the first
place. As far as I can see, there is no link from the Jakarta page to
online docs. You need to go through the Tomcat subproject to get there.
