As has been pointed out several times on this forum, if the question is
just to serve some static content along with the dynamic Java-produced
content, Tomcat is comparable to Apache httpd as a pure webserver.
If you need to rewrite some URLs nevertheless, you should have a look at
the following Tomcat servlet filter, which achieves under Tomcat most if
not all of what mod_rewrite does under Apache :

But for now, let's take as a given that you need an httpd in front of
Tomcat.
You may or may not be aware of the following syntax under Apache, which
is an alternative to the JkMount/JkUnmount directives :
<Location /anyurl>
SetHandler jakarta-servlet
SetEnvIf (some condition) no-jk
...
</Location>
Full description here :
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html
(at the very bottom of the page)
You can use any Location or LocationMatch sections with this.
The SetHandler does basically the same as what a "JkMount *" would do in
this case, while the "SetEnvIf no-jk" does the same as JkUnmount (but
with a lot more flexibility).
E.g.
SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI "\.(gif|jpg|css|js)$" no-jk
I personally prefer that form, because it fits better with the usual
syntax of Apache httpd, and I find it easier to combine with other
Apache directives like RewriteRule, SetEnvIf etc...
It's also easier to figure out when exactly things happen.
