Thanks for the response Mark,

Ok so if I want to keep mod_jk as part of this, ( it is what we use at 
work ), then if I understand right, I have no choice but to make tomcat 
support /tomcat7/ in the path. Do I do this just by moving all the 
webapps under webapps/tomcat7/? Will I have to make other configuration 
changes?

What is the right way to do this? The way we have it at work is that 
each tomcat worker is pointing to one developer's tomcat installation 
for the developer to do with as they need.
