It sounds like you are saying that you must also run Apache ... that Tomcat
alone is not sufficient.  Is this correct?  And that I would setup
mod_rewrite within Apache before it gets to Tomcat?  Wouldn't this then mean
that you're not actually using Apache as a Standalone?  Are you connecting
to Tomcat via WARP?

I'm confused.  :(

Yes, but your requests must be passed through Apache to
Tomcat-Standalone via mod_jk. We do this on our site and it works
nicely. The URL requests are processed by mod_rewrite before mod_jk
forwards them to Tomcat, so the Apache behavior you desired is achieved.

I don't think that "Tomcat-Standalone" means what it looks like it
should mean, if you know what I mean ;-)
