So the problem I was having it seems was that I didn't have
 
<VirtualHost localhost>
DocumentRoot "D:\java\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps"
ServerName localhost
WebAppConnection myconn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy examples myconn /examples
</VirtualHost>
 
and what surprises me is the need to have a DocumentRoot that point to
Tomcat's webapps directory
 
this I don't understand.
 
I had the impression that I could have an arbitary document root that
held any static content
typically under Apache's directory structure and that I could export any
webapp from Tomcat's structure
and Apache would forward the requests onto tomcat.
 
does this mean then that _all_ content that I want to vend under my apps
context ie. /examples has to reside in my web app per se?
 
If I'm forced to have the above is there anything I can do to separate
my static and dynamic content? ie. how would I set it up so that I had
static content under /examples but that was held under Apache's document
root and was still able to address my webapp via /examples?
