We are currently using mod_jk2 (yes we know it is deprecated...but need to use it to mirror someone else's config) with jboss 4.0.3SP1 and the packaged jbossweb-tomcat55.sar and liferay.

In our workers2.properties file if I specify a uri for /our-portlets/* nothing works. However, if I specify one deeper, say /our-portlets/logging/* then that portlet/component will work.

What could be causing the handoff from apache to tomcat to not go one directive deeper?
