I've always used Apache + Tomcat via mod_jk. To tell Apache not to forward /recources to Tomcat, you just put this in vhosts:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/resources/*" no-jk
How do you do the same thing with mod_proxy. If it matters, I'm using the bitnami tomcat stack and there is a tomcat.conf with:
<Location />
ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/
</Location>
Do I change that somehow?
#<Location />
# ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/
#</Location>
ProxyPass /resources !
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
