RE: 404 servlet

In my situation I let all requests go to the servlet container, so
the "static" files are served by the file servlet of the container, not
by Apache.

If you have a 404 rule in apache that goes: 
        if file not found, request 404handler in servlet container

you can try
        if file not found, request file in servlet container

and then let the container call the 404handler

        regards, Andre
