The problem is that most people would write:
<Location "/foo">
JkMount worker
</Location>
The "/foo" in location will handle any URL beginning with "/foo" while
mod_jk will handle a URL with /exactly/ that path "/foo". Basically,
<Location "/foo"> behaves like <Location "/foo/*"> without actually
saying it, and mod_jk will stupidly do exactly as requested, which is
not always what might be expected.
That's why the above doesn't work as expected, but using Set-Handler
does: when Location/JkMount is used, we get a bad JkMount result
(mod_jk maps only /foo, not /foo/*). If you use Set-Handler, then
/httpd/ makes the decision that the URL matches the <Location> amd
then sets the handler for it.
I really do think this warrants at least a documentation update.
