That's good to know.  I have had significant problems using mod_proxy
and tomcat with Apache 2.0.  Basically it amounted to Tomcat using a
weird character to indicate the start of URL parameters (something other
than "?") and that was making mod_proxy choke.  After switching to
mod_jk, it all worked.  Never was sure why tomcat was using the
non-standard character in the urls.  mod_proxy is cleaner and easier in
many situations than mod_jk if it works.
