I think you could do that via mod_rewrite

RewriteRule ^/project/(.*)/dynamic/(.*)
http://tomcat/project/$1/d
ynamic/$2 [proxy,last]

RewriteRule ^/project/(.*)
http://apache/project/$1  
    [passthrough,last]

You also need to define a <Directory or <Location for
your local
static files on Apache

This wont work.

Ian asked if both (Apache & Tomcat) could be configured
to listen on
the same port, and the anser here is definately a NO.

What you can do is use the connector JK 1.2, run Apache in
front,
Tomcat on port i.e. 8009. JK then will forward the specified
requests
to Tomcat, similar to a proxy.

Your solution might work also, however, Tomcat won't
"run" on the same
port as Apache.

Cheers

Forgot to mention that Ian asked in the Tomcat-userlist if
he could
run both on the same port (check for the post "Can
Apache and Tomcat
both be configured in port 80?")

Sorry, forgot to mention that

Maybe it's time to call it a day.

Sorry again
