Hi Steve,
mod_jk2 is the name of a module used to connect Tomcat to the Apache Web Server. It allows Apache to handle static HTML, and pass requests for JSPs through to Tomcat.
Before you starting messing with mod_jk,mod_jk2 or mod_webapp (all used to make the Tomcat-Apache connection), make certain you actually need their functionality. If you are Tomcat novice you can most likely use Tomcat as your web server (using the included Coyote HTTP 1.1 connector) for both static and dynamic pages. Much less config, much more documentation, much less hassle. This is how I develop anyway.
If you need/want to try the Apache/Tomcat hook-up using mod_jk2, you will need to:
1)Install Apache 2
2)Download mod_jk2.dll or mod_jk2.so (depending on whether you use Windows or Unix)
3)Copy it into Apache2InstallDir\modules
and then follow the rest of the procedure outlined in previous posts to this list.
Again, though, if you just want to develop and test JSP pages using Tomcat, there's no real need to hook it up to Apache. Unless you just like doing things the hard way.

Subject: what is the mod_jk2 file???
Rory, forgivbe my complete "ignorance" and even "idiocy" on the subject--I AM a
complete novice when it comes to using Tomcat--but I was just wondering what the
hell the mod_jk2 file is, what that is all about anyway??! There are still SO MANY
things about tomcat that I don't know and probably will never know about, so
please "humor me" and tell me about the file!
