You cannot specify a test JSP page as this is more expensive than doing a cping/cpong. An option might be another functionality: mod_jk allows you to configure a node as "disabled" or "stopped", if a worker is disabled only requests with a session on this node are sent to this worker, if a worker is stopped, no requests are sent to it. You can alter the worker state using the mod_jk web GUI (aka mod_jk status worker). If you want to deploy or undeploy just stop the appropriate worker. The mod_jk config option fail_on_status (see http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html) might look helpful, but I would strongly discourage you from using it for a HTTP 404, because you will run into trouble if someone mistypes a URL or some embedded content (i.e. /favicon.ico) is not found. For a detailed discussion about mod_jk the tomcat-users list (users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) is a better place to ask.
