Here are the basic/central steps to take.
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /jetty/* jetty
JkOptions +ForwardURIEscaped
worker.list=jetty
worker.jetty.port=8009
worker.jetty.host=localhost
worker.jetty.type=ajp13
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName app.example.com
...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*) /jetty/app$1 [L,PT]
...
</VirtualHost>
Some mod_jk properties are not supported by resp. not working right with Jetty (as opposed to Tomcat), e.g.:
socket_timeout, socket_keepalive, connect_timeout
Have fun! :-)
