I never got warp working, so I've always used Jk myself.

And besides, we're geeks, so an elegant solution that doesn't require
modifying existing content would be desirable too ;-)

True.

The samples above don't map '/' to mod_webapp, they only map selected
filetypes.

Sure, but we probably should try and achieve the opposite: I assume the
number of Cocoon resources will grow, whilst the "legacy" stuff will
remain constant (or at least constantly in the same place).

I'm not sure - I'd guess it'll have the whole URL somewhere in the
headers, but possibly not where you want it. Besides, the solution above
isn't very future-proof IMHO.

You also said:

I think your best solution is going to be in the Apache httpd.conf - maybe
Rewrite will do what you want. Can't figure out how to limit what is
passed on to Cocoon via JkMount though :-/

Effectively I guess you want rules that pass everything but images,
movies, audio, x-spaceprojects, harlem etc to mod_jk. Anyone else know how
to do that? ;-)

I mean something like:

JkMount /!(images|movies|audio)*
