Apache 2.0.47, Tomcat 4.1.27, mod_jk2 2.0.2 AND mod_deflate

[Joshua McCulloch]

I have setup Apache 2.0.47 on Windows XP to serve jsp/servlet requests
using Tomcat 4.1.27. I did this using the mod_jk2 module and was able
to successfully connect to http://host/examples and get the tomcat
example pages. I'm using JDK 1.3.1-03.

I then configured mod_deflate and was able to verify it works by
telnet'ing to port 80 and giving it a request using "Accept-Encoding:
gzip, deflate". I did this on both the main index.html file and the
main manual document.

However, any request to /examples/* (served by jk2) does NOT get
compressed. I even placed the main index.html file in
TOMCAT_HOME\web apps\examples\ and that too will be send un-compressed!

I've tried a variety of options within the <Directory> section, and
switching the order of the LoadModule statements.

Is what I'm trying to do possible? Should I consider using mod_jk or
mod_webapp? Switch to Apache 1.3.x?

Below are the configuration files/sections which should be relevant:

httpd.conf:
LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2-2.0.43.so
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so

<Directory />
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
