Answer is simple. It doesn't work.

Tomcat was introduced when there was no Apache 2. Tomcat is located in 
Apache 1.3 subdirectory (usr/apache) and not in Apache 2 subdirectory 
(usr/apache2).

But still it can be manually configured and run as stand-alone server or 
to communicate with Apache 2. The best way is probably to reuse 
/etc/init.d/apache.

For Apache 2.2 (in Nevada) there is by default mod_proxy_ajp.so which 
communicates via AJP13 protocol. While for Apache 2.0 (Solaris 10) 
mod_jk has to be compiled.
