title: How to server static files + proxy context
body: <p>I am wondering how to configure my httpd server to serves the following pages: </p>
  
  <p>My need is to serve static content located in my /var/www/static when url is /context/static and to proxy the remaining to a tomcat server</p>
  
  <p>In this order: </p>
  
  <pre><code>/context/static/* --&gt; files served by httpd
  /context/*        --&gt; resources served by tomcat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried to rewrite /context/static/* to a folder pointing to my /var/www/static and added the <code>ProxyPath</code> directive for the remaining but I can't get it working.</p>
  
  <p>What are the best practices and how to achieve that ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
