How do I control Tomcat from Apache - no tomcat.conf

I've installed a binary distribution of Tomcat 5.5.12 from the Apache
site. I also have installed Apache 2.0.52, which I built from sources

I'd like to control Tomcat from Apache, but the httpd.conf file of
Apache has a few lines that I find confusing:


# If enabling Tomcat, also be sure to rename/edit the Tomcat
# configuration file /var/apache/tomcat/conf/server.xml-example
# to /var/apache/tomcat/conf/server.xml.

# Jakarta Tomcat support
#include /etc/apache/tomcat.conf

Do I need to include the tomcat.conf file? There is nothing to say what
to do with it in the Apache's httpd.conf, but one can see it is
commented out, so clearly it has some purpose.

I do *not* have a tomcat.conf file at all, so are somewhat confused. Can
I just ignore the line??
