Simply setting a .jsp page outside Tomcat webapps directory will
never work. Tomcat needs a way to find out this file.
So without putting the Context named like Alias inside Tomcat
configuration it will have no idea where to look for that file.

The Alias is properly handled by mod_jk because the url with
/test/index.jsp is requested from Tomcat. Of course it will return 404
if have no idea what is the physical location of that files.

This will also not work neither with mod_proxy or mod_proxy_ajp because
of the Tomcat nature, since the Tomcat is not PHP where you fed the
physical file location to its engine.

Although if the Alias directory points to some directory inside Tomcat
web space, and in theory the physical location could be calculated
this still wont work in cases where you have a load balancer. In that
case one worker can be put on the same box as Apache, while other on a
remote one.

JK has been designed as proxy-kind-of-a-application, so its main
purpose is to do a reverse proxying of requests to a Tomcat(s)
and work on virtual url space, not on a physical one. Finding
physical location of requested uri is the Tomcat's job on the
other end of the wire.
