mod_webapp vs. local static content

[Thom Park <tp...@borland.com>]

Hi Folks,

I'm sure I'm missing somthing but it doesn't look to me that pr_warp handles
serving
local static html content.

I can see in pr_warp_config where a test is made to determine whether the
WEB-INF folder
of a given web-app actually resides under Apache's htdoc tree, but I can't
see where
mod_webapp actually uses that information to decide whether to go to the
tomcat for the
request or to have it served locally.

So - can mod_webapp support splitting serving static and dynamic content
between apache &
tomcat a la mod_jk?

I can't see how it can work with the current code and, unfortunately,
without this ability,
I don't see much point of front-ending tomcat with Apache (unless I'm
already serving a bunch
of stuff on Apache that's separate from my web-apps).

p.s. On re-reading this, this might have been best posted to tomcat-user.

apologies.
