The reason was that Tomcat did not serve the Flash correctly, never did
manage to get to the bottom of why but the browser did not complain - it
just left big blank spaces.  With this setup at least that bit works.

My gut response is that the MIME type is wrong, so the browser doesn't
know that the file is a Flash movie. How were you serving the Flash
files when you tried it from Tomcat? You will probably need a servlet
which sets the MIME type correctly, (trying to do it from a JSP will
work, but will also fill your logs with warnings as a JSP is not
supposed to serve binary files).

I have a site which is a mixture of html (and a bunch of images and
flash and other such stuff which came in from the web designer) and
a couple of JSPs.  I have implemented this with Apache 2.2 and Tomcat
5.5, using ProxyPass statements with ajp in the Location tag.
Is there any reason for such a complex setup?  Tomcat will quite happily
serve the static content itself.  You could:

1) Put all the content in the same directory for Tomcat to serve, keep
Apache httpd, but all your content goes through Tomcat->httpd->user;

2) Put all the content in the same directory for Tomcat to serve, remove
Apache httpd, serve the content directly through a http Connector in
Tomcat.
