The reason I'm asking is because I know for a fact when you use RESIN (another j2ee container) . You can have your jsps and servlets sitting ANYWHERE on the server, like in the same place your static content is and setup apache to send those requests to resin and setup resin to listen for them ANYWHERE.
But when I use JBOSS with tomcat I have to have my jsp's and servlets sitting in the webapps folder specifically and map to them there.
Okay let me rephrase everything. I have a file in my /var/www/htdocs/index.jsp and I want tomcat to see it there directly not in webapps under tomcat. I don't want the index.jsp in webapps/root/index.jsp then map it to apache2 with mod_jk - I don't think it can be done by just adding a handler to httpd.conf...
Thanks for giving this some thought, I'm probably in the wrong mailing list and not making any sense
thanks

No, they don't. For example the 'manager' webapp that ships with Tomcat does not live under 'webapps'.

Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth, to me. But if you can come up with URL patterns that need to be handed off to Tomcat, plus convince Apache not to serve anything under WEB-INF directly, then I'm sure you could get it to work.
What problem are you trying to solve by doing this? (And what does it have to do with JBOSS? I skipped it initially because I don't use JBOSS, but your question only seems to deal with Tomcat/Apache/JK configuration.)
