Yeah setting Context Manager home="/path-to-tomcat" did the trick.
Besides this in the tomcat.conf file
I did the following
ApJServMount /examples /root
<Location /examples/WEB-INF/>
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
without the Alias directive I had put earlier.
I can run all the example servlets and jsps without any problem through
apache 1.3.17,SSL, mod_jserv, Tomcat .
Apache handles the request to context manager. Now after you set context
manager home. it can resolve /examples accurately and serve the servlets.

That's all? That solved your problem? Something like this?
(TOMCAT_HOME = /tomcat in my case)
<ContextManager
home="/tomcat" debug="0" workDir="work" showDebugInfo="true" >

Are you saying that, for example, with this Alias directive removed from
your tomcat-apache.conf file:
Alias /examples "/tomcat/webapps/examples"
<Directory "/tomcat/webapps/examples">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ApJServMount /examples/servlet /examples
that you can still load the examples index page:
http://host/examples/servlets/index.html
and then run the example servlet:
http://host/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample
when using an apache server?
How could this be possible? How would apache know where to find
/examples?
