Thanks Christopher I will address the security issues if I am actually able to 
get mod_jk to execute a jsp!

No. You should do things right first, in a secure way. And then, when it works, you can start "optimising" carefully and step by step, and try not to introduce security holes while doing so. I put "optimise" between quotes here, because what you are apparently trying is not much of an optimisation, while it IS creating security issues (and confusing things). It would be better to let Tomcat serve all your content, including the static pages that are inside your webapp directory anyway. This way, you will not compromise whatever access security is implemented at the Tomcat side, and the overhead of having Tomcat serve those static pages is measured in microseconds at worst.


I have now removed everything from mod_jk.conf except for the global directives 
and I now have my httpd.conf looking like:

#
# JK for connections to Tomcat
#
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
Include /etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf

<IfModule jk_module>
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile     /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info


remove from here

Alias /sft "/var/webapps/sft"

<Directory "/var/webapps/sft">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Location "/sft/WEB-INF/">
   AllowOverride None
   deny from all
</Location>

until here

> </IfModule>


##
## SSL Virtual Host Context
<VirtualHost sfta.a.b.c:443>

change this

JkMount /sft/* loadbalancer
JkUnMount /*.html loadbalancer

to this

JkMount /sft loadbalancer
JkMount /sft/* loadbalancer


</VirtualHost>

I still get the jsp file returned as text

which means that Apache is serving them, not Tomcat.

so I obviously still have problems and initially I would just like to get apache to invoke mod_jk and return me the dynamic content.

And let it first return the static content as well, since it is anyway located in your webapps directory.

One could also question why you are using the term (or name) "loadbalancer" above, since all your content seems to be on the same host anyway. Do you really have one httpd and several Tomcat's ?
