You seem to have your regex syntax a little muddled. You've got (?!
which is fine for negative lookahead, but *. is shell wildcard syntax,
not regex.

<LocationMatch (?!(js|png|etc)$)>

.. perhaps, though I haven't tried it. It's a shame you're not using
the more up-to-date mod_proxy_ajp rather than mod_jk as then you'd be
able to use mod_rewrite for this and get negated matching, rather than
confusing assertions.

That doesn't sound right, but then I get mod_jk doesn't consider
itself to operate like a proxy so doesn't use 503. I may have fluffed
the regex syntax too, I'm not sure if that $ anchor is in the right
place with respect to the assertion. Try (?!(\.(js|png|jpg|etc)$))
Ideally I guess you'd say "send this to tomcat unless it exists in the
document root", rather than listing arbitrary file extensions.

No, you use apache's ProxyPass family of directives, but instead of
proxying to http:// addresses you proxy to ajp://
Sadly the docs are a little spartan, so try the second link first.

Thanks for your reply.

<LocationMatch (?!(js|png|jpg|bmp|gif|ico|swf|xml|pdf|doc|xls|zip|txt)$)>
    JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009
</LocationMatch>

I tried this, but still, it seems that everything is being served by 
tomcat. When I hit http://example.com/foo.txt and tomcat is down, I get 
an error 500 (Internal Server Error).

With mod_proxy_ajp I will be able to use the JkMount and JkUnMount 
directives?

thanks
