Now that we are done attacking clones ....:) The workflow is pretty simple. In the map-to-storage hook, mod_jk detects that the request should be handled by Tomcat, and registers itself as the handler. Later, when the "handler" hook is called (I forget the name for Apache2, and don't feel like looking it up :), mod_jk passes the request information (e.g. RequestURI, RequestMethod, Headers) to Tomcat, who then processes the Request normally (i.e. not much differently than if it had been recieved by the HTTP/1.1 connector). The Connector also aranges to send the data in the Response OutputStream/Writer back to mod_jk as the data is available. When mod_jk recieves the output, it sends it back to the client.
It's been a while since I've gone through the Apache2 hooks, but I believe that Alias directives aren't handled in map-to-storage, so they should be orthoganal to the mod_jk directives (which is useful when you want Apache2 to serve static content). Unless you set tomcatAuthentication="false" on the connector (and don't configure security via Apache directives), then Tomcat's Realms will handle all authentication/authorization. But it is not a two-way thing. You need to set 'JkMount /MyApp/protected/* ajp13' to prevent Apache from serving static content without authorization.
