Apache JkMount to Tomcat root, not a context.

Hi,

Does anyone out there know how to configure mod_jk to connect Apache
to the root of Tomcat?

I want to be able to have a url like this:
www.example.com/myServlets/aServlet
and have Apache pass the requests to the root of Tomcat and not to the
/myServlets context of Tomcat.

This is so that HttpSession cookies are not created with a path
statement that looks like this:
path=/myServlets


I have my context set like this:
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
which works fine when I use Tomcat's http connector and a url like
this:
www.example.com:8080/aServlet
But I can't do the same via Apache and the mod_jk connector.

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Darren

I should add that I'm using Apache 1.3.28 and Tomcat 4.0.6.

In case anyone is interested I managed to solve this by mounting jk like this:
JkMount /aServlet aWorker

Now I can access my servlet like this:
www.example.com/aServlet
and the path of the HttpSession cookie is this:
path=/
