Thanks again Rainer,

I think we're getting somewhere with this... but unfortunately all responses to myserver.com/tomcat/anything are completely empty. This means something is happening because the response to myserver.com/ tomcat is that it doesn't exist (because the rewrite rule doesn't apply if there is no trailing slash and it's trying to find the static page to serve).

I have noted the e-mail wrapping of the line and corrected for it.

My workers.properties file looks like

workers.tomcat_home=/usr/share/tomcat5.5
workers.java_home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
ps=/
worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.lbfactor=1
/=worker1

and my apache configuration (after module loading etc) has

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /tomcat/(.*) /$1 [E=JK_WORKER_NAME:worker1,H=jakarta- servlet,PT]

I don't have any explicit JkMount lines anywhere and I'm not seeing anything unusual in my logs.

Have any further ideas? I really appreciate your help on this.

The RewriteRule line extends until "PT]"

This will activate JK forwarding via a worker called myworker (you can
replace it by the name of your worker) for everything that starts with
/tomcat/ and also changes the forwarding URL by stripping the leading
"/tomcat".

FOR Apache we use mod_rewrite for those tricks, because it is a modular
server and there exists many usefuk modules. For IIS this kind of
ability is already build into the JK isapi plugin.

Is that what you are looking for?

Note that now we don't replace /tomcat by /servlet-examples, so a
working request now would be /tomcat/servlet-example/something.
