Confusion is par for the course with responses from Martin.
Since mod_jk (I assume you're using mod_jk) maps URIs to Tomcat, your
mapping will occur before Apache httpd consults the filesystem to see if
there's anything like an .htaccess file in there.
Yes, mod_jk for Apache 2.x with tell Apache to skip checking the directory
for .htaccess once it has found a match. And, since .htaccess is just
another file to Tomcat, if you have mappings like:
JkMount /myapp/* worker1
then Tomcat will happily serve the file to anybody that requests it :).
I think that you can get it to work with mod_proxy_ajp if you put your
ProxyPass statements in a <Directory> block, but I haven't tried it. You
can place RewriteRules in .htaccess, so I imagine that that will always
work.
I think you'll have to do this at the top-level of your virtual host
within httpd.conf (or wherever you define your virtual/non-virtual
host). You might not be able to do it in an .htaccess file at all.
Are you able to modify your own Apache configuration? If not, you may
have to ask your system administrator to do it for you.
