We used mod_jk for ages and have recently flipped back to mod_proxy for our java/tomcat apps, we found that we had connectivity issues with mod_jk - if the connection between apache/tomcat is severed then mod_jk did not always work cleanly - and subsequent requests would just hang. mod_proxy didn't have the problem.
The problem showed it self when we started segregating machines into virtual firewall zones - so traffic between machines was controlled.
It does mean that we don't have as easy a load-balanced setup - although we do send the requests back through our front-end load balancers and this seems effective.
