Getting Tomcat 4.0.1 and Apache 1.3.23 talking!

I've been banging on this for a LONG TIME, and I seem to be missing something very obvious!  Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

I am running Tomcat v4.0.1 and Apache 1.3.23.  Both of these applications run as expected individually, however I cannot get them to work together.  I want users to hit my Apache Webserver, and Tomcat serve up JSP/Servlets through Apache.

I have spent a good time searching online, and have come up with many tutorials on the issue, but I can't get a single one to work.

I've tried mod_webapp.  This is the closest I've gotten to getting it to work.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all.  In the logs, I keep getting a "Premature end of packet" error in the log files.  No content is served at all.

I spent a good part of the day looking into mod_jk.  I did everything in the "README.txt", however I cannot figure out how to get the mod_jk.so file out of it!  I've got the appropriate Tomcat jar files, but without mod_jk.so, Apache wont work!

I just can't believe Jakarta wrote all these applications, and didn't write a decent tutorial on how to integrate them!  Every one I find seeems to leave out some vital piece!

Anyone have any ideas?
