Can you define "didn't work" ?

Looks fine.

Looks fine, if the module is there.  But otherwise I guess Apache would 
not start.

Note that the above will ONLY forward to the connector and Tomcat, 
requests for URLs which match the above pattern, like
/examples/something.html
It will not forward the URL
/examples
For that, you would need a second JkMount
JkMount  /examples  tomcat1

Also see note (1) below.

I believe your problem is here :

> modJk="/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so" />
> 

Remove the above and try again.

I believe that you tried to mix two different techniques :
- trying to use the "Tomcat auto-configure" feature of mod_jk
and
- configuring mod_jk yourself

I think that the two do not play well together.
And anyway :
- I am not sure that the auto-configure feature still works
- the documentation also says that it is specific to Tomcat 5.x

The above is OK, leave it.

Note (1) :
As an alternative to the JkMount/JkUnMount directives, there also exists 
the following (in the Apache httpd.conf) :

<Location /examples>
   SetHandler jakarta-servlet
   ...

</Location>

(You can also use <LocationMatch> instead of <Location>)

This is described here :
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html
, at the very end of the page, in the section "Using SetHandler and 
Environment Variables".
Using this or the JkMount/JkUnMount syntax is a question of personal 
preference. I prefer this second form, because I find that it matches 
the general Apache configuration style better.  It also makes it easier 
to add additional Apache directives to be applied to the URLs which you 
forward to Tomcat.
