I agree that the documentation is currently in a
horrible state. But unfortunately we don't have any
time to update or to rewrite it at the moment.

Not necessarily. Running PHP within a J2EE AS is
faster than the Apache prefork MPM. The only problem
with this setup is that java cannot drop privileges
(due to posix constraints), so you need a native
wrapper which forwards the request from the HTTP or
HTTPS port to the unprivileged 8080 or 8443 ports. In
most cases this "native wrapper" is either Apache with
mod_jk or Apache with PHP and the PHP/Java Bridge.

Certainly. Your setup is described in fig. #3 in the
README.

I can't comment on this one because I have not much
experience with mod_jk. We usually set the Apache
DocumentRoot to the J2EE AS webapps directory and set
up a .htaccess file.
