REPOST: Setting up tomcat with apache2 on Debian

I put this up some time last week but I think the news server went fubar
as I can no longer see the message.

I am looking for instructions for how to set up Tomcat5 with Apache2 on
Debian using mod_jk. I have working apache2 and tomcat5 setups, but can
not find any concise instructions on how to combine the two. I have been
using Linux for about a year but have only just got into the apache /
tomcat thing, so the instructions will need to be at a fairly basic level.

MAny thanks for any help

maybe this will help I run three Tomcats so ignore 5_1 and 5_2, here from
httpd.conf
======================================
#Jim begin
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

# Configure mod_jk

Here from workers.properties
