Apache-Tomcat-Connectors and building mod_jk

[Timothy Alberts]

Running FC6 with apache and tomcat just fine.  I'm trying to configure
the connectors and it appears that FC6 does not include mod_jk, but
rather the deprecated mod_jk2.  So I'm trying to build mod_jk from
source.

In building the mod_jk from source, I find that I need apxs2 (APache
eXtension tool) installed.  Is this available with the FC6 packages or
Extras?  I have not found any reference to this yet.

Furthermore, I'm curious if Fedora is going to abandon the deprecated
mod_jk2 in favor of the supported mod_jk, or if they intend to use
something else?
