Getting Apache/Tomcat to work with mod_jk and virtual hostin

[fightertom37]

I had a Xampp Apache setup working fine with Virtual Hosting. Then I needed to installed the Xampp Tomcat addon to move two Java apps to the same server. But I cannot get the Java apps to work. The other apps on the server are still working fine. First Apache would not forward the requests to Tomcat for the java apps. Then yesterday Tomcat would only serve up the first Java page but if you clicked a link it would only return the source code (ie not parse the Java or HTML) to the screen. And it would only parse the first page in IE, not Firefox or Safari. Today, I have tried more combinations and now the pages will not appear--the browser sits and spins and timesout. I see a 502 error the Apache log. Can any of you help me out please?

I have the following directory structure:

apache directories:
/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
/xampp/apache/conf/extra/mod-jk.conf

tomcat directories->
/xampp/tomcat/conf/workers.properties
/xampp/tomcat/conf/server.xml

java application directories->
/xampp/tomcat/webapps/nisl3
/xampp/tomcat/webapps/nisl4

The contents of the mod-jk,httpd-vhosts, workers.properties, and server.xml files are below:

<IfModule !mod_jk.c>
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

<IfModule mod_jk.c>
