Hi,
I you are using Linux and a distribution that groks rpms, just install
the packages provided by jpackage (http://jpackage.zarb.org/) or even
those on jakarta (same maintainer, might be a little bit less
up-to-date). You'll get an hassle-free tomcat-mod_jk-apache solution,
with regular updates and almost no maintenance (no kidding, you won't
find any of the convoluted windows installation stories with these
packages).
jpackage rpms have been using a dedicated tomcat user almost from the
beginning (patches for the scripts are welcome if you find any
deficiencies). Don't spend hours setting up a tomcat config - just use
the same one and everyone else, and help polish it (no it's not 100% LSB
compliant yet, but we're working on it). And anyway, compared to the
weight of a java solution, apache is almost nothing - you won't even
notice it in system profiles if it used solely as a mod-jk gateway.
Regards,
