Questions answered:
- What is a worker?
A defined connection between one tomcat server and one apache server.
Essentially tells apache on what ip and port it can find a tomcat
service that speaks the AJP-13 protocol.
I know what the Tomcat docs call it, and I think that means I only need
one unless I have Magnolia running on 2 different servers and I want to
make them accessible on the same server.
Correct.
- What should the name of a worker be?
Anything you want as long as it's alphanumeric. Try to avoid
punctuation in a worker's name. I'm sure there are some punctuation
marks allowed, but can't remember which ones exactly.
- Is there anyway to remove the context from the path using mod_jk and
virtual hosts? For example, can I change....:
Rewriting the path is overall a problematic task -- your better off
avoiding it. I would define two hosts in tomcat, each with it's own
webapps directory. Then rename your magnoliaPublic and magnoliaAuthor
webapps both to ROOT, storing one in one of the webapps directories and
the other in the other webapps directory. Unfortunately you'll need two
workers -- one for each host when configured in this manner.
On the other hand as long as you aren't in need of the modules apache
offers (php, perl, etc.,...), you could simply dump apache in favor of
direct access to tomcat. Tomcat 5.5.x is nearly as fast as apache httpd
and the mod-jk middleman will only slow things down.

I have spent the last few days (days!!) trying to get Apache and
mod_jk to work with Tomcat. I've finally gotten it to work, but it
doesn't do what I want. I've updated the wiki page with everything I
know (and some things I don't).

My questions are:

virtual hosts? For example, can I change:
www.example.com/magnoliaPublic
www.example.com/magnoliaAuthor
to
www.example.com (public)
author.example.com (author)
That is what I really want and what I've done so far isn't getting me
that.
