Hi filip
I found the solution. You have to make a change in tomcat's server.xml file.
In the ContextManager section you have to set up a variable like
home="TOMCAT_HOME".
Now you do not need to use an Alias directive they all will work.

this works because Apache nor mod_jserv is involved, this is an internal
Tomcat operation

you have to look up the documentation for mod_jserv. If switching to mod_jk
is not an option (and Apache 1.3.17 does support mod_jk, hell we used apache
1.3.14 for mod_jk:),
I can help you do the research, but the docs are pretty detailed.
they even walk you through some examples
but I can't seem to find the docs I once used, and that is probably because
mod_jk is much more widely used.
read the $TOMCAT_HOME/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html for the AjpServMount
directive.
Also, try to remove the Alias directive, and see if that will work
