Probably Apache does not read the .htaccess file because it is in a
directory which your servlet engine takes care of. Likewise, the servlet
engine doesn't read the .htaccess file because it is an Apache
configuration file and it doesn't know anything about that. I guess
you're stuck with putting it all in httpd.conf...
