Tomcat and Apache Basic Authentication

I have a box where Apache's basic authentication is working fine, via
directives in httpd.conf or an .htaccess file in the selected directory.
However, when the selected directory is located under the webapp context
directory, Apache serves it up without any prompting for any username
and password, no 401 response header, nada.  It's as if the URL to any
webapp bypasses Apache's authentication modules and sends the request
straight to the connector.  I'm using Webapp (I know, I know).  Is there
a special setting to make Webapp obey Apache's authentication system?
Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated.
