Correction: we should only suggest mod_jk2. I've committed that.

I think that's fine.

Hmm...not sure. The configs are easily selectable via
/etc/defaults/jboss3. Every further step involves editing a XML file, I
think. We should drop in a nice default config (based on the default
jboss config) with only the above open ports and leave all the rest to
the user.
We should furthermore make sure users can drop in their own server
configurations without problems without having to mess with any file
under /usr/share (if they have to move some things over to
/usr/local/share this would be o.k. IMHO).
