A really kludgy workaround is to serve these files statically from Apache

This directive (after the JkMount commands tells Apache not to use the Tomcat connector (and serve the files statically from Apache)

 JkUnMount /share/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce/* tomcat‍

You then make a directory tree to mimic the file system in Tomcat (for tiny_mce)

share/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce ‍

cp -a ~/alfresco-4.0.c/tomcat/webapps/share/modules/editors/tiny_mce /my/apache/www-root/share/res/modules/editors‍

Another way to achieve the same end is to Alias the files in Apache

AliasMatch ^/share/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce/(.*) /var/home/whoever/alfresco-4.0.c/tomcat/webapps/share/modules/editors/tiny_mce/$1‍

Actually aliasing the URL that includes the "res" directory works…

AliasMatch ^/share/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce/(.*) /share/modules/editors/tiny_mce/$1‍

The "res" directory doesn't exist and must be a "virtual" directory in generated by Tomcat. The Tomcat Connector does not seem to handle this case…
