mod_rewrite / mod_jk not working together

[Jerry Malcolm <2ndgenfilms@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an established environment of Apache 2.2 and Tomcat 7.  I've had 
mod_jk working without problem for years.  I have a need to add some 
user-friendly URLs.  So I added mod_rewrite to the picture.

Here's the problem... I have a very simple rewrite rule that maps /test 
to /abc.jsp.  I have a mod_jk mount statement to send *.jsp to Tomcat.  
When I send "/test" in, mod_rewrite does the mapping as expected. I 
looked in the rewrite log file.  The log file says it matches and 
converts. (I did a quick check and mapped to a jpg and did indeed get 
the mapped jpg back... so it appears mod_rewrite is working fine).  But 
when the request gets to mod_jk, it's the original URL - /test, which 
obviously does not match the *.jsp and therefore does not send to Tomcat.

I'm new to mod_rewrite.  So I'm obviously missing something.  I thought 
I could use it as simply a URL converter that sits in front of 
everything in Apache and maps one URL to another, and everything 
downstream in Apache (i.e. mod_jk) would see the mapped URL as if that 
was the URL that came from the browser.

So mod_rewrite works fine; mod_jk works fine.  They just appear to both 
be seeing the original input URL.

What am I missing?  How do I make mod_jk use the mapped URL from 
mod_rewrite?  (And send the mapped URL on to Tomcat instead of sending 
the original URL)?

Thanks
