OK. That seems fine to me.
Now, I'm using mod_jserv, not mod_jk, and I have things like the
following in my apache/tomcat conf file:
Alias /blah /path/to/tomcat/webapps/blah
ApJServMount /blah/servlet /blah
which I got based on the sample provided. I also added
ApJServMount /blah /blah
which wasn't in the sample but which seems to allow me to do some
things I want.
As I understand it, these ApJServMount's, tell apache (and/or tomcat)
what the context is for URL's passed to tomcat. The ApJKMount
directives you have don't seem to be doing that, they just indicate
what the protocol is. I'm wondering if this could be (part of) the
problem.
Because it seems like the URL you're using wouldn't be matched by
either of the ApJKMount directives shown below.
