Question: Is there an alternative module to the mod_jk module that is provided in the standard channel for Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 5?

Answer: The module mod_jk is currently included as part of the Application Stack channel and is not available in the base channel. However in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the package httpd does provide a module by the name mod_proxy_ajp which helps connect between the two. The configuration file is located at /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf. Edit this configuration file according to the needs of the enviroment. At the very least, add i the webapps directory used by tomcat:

<pre class = “screen”
     ProxyPass /tomcat/ ajp://localhost:8009/
     ProxyPass /examples/ ajp://localhost:8009/jsp-examples/
