So, I'll forget about mod_webapp because no one knows how to build it and the people who built it once say that it doesn't work well anyway.
So, I'll try mod_jk, though I'm concerned that it's marked as deprecated in the apache bugzilla. Now, I just need a URL of some instructions for building mod_jk, because there are no binaries or rpms for mod_jk either, at least not for Tomcat4. Note that I'm trying to use Apache2.
