I haven't looked at the docs for a while, perhaps they overemphasize that and don't spend enough time discussing how to let apache server static content. I run a number of Apache/Tomcat production systems where Apache serves all the static content and only requests for dynamic content (servlets/jsp) are passed to Tomcat using mod_jk. Regards, Glenn
