Apache RewriteRule and LocationMatch

I am currently looking at apache configuration file that is using both
LocationMatch (for a weblogic plug-in) and RewriteRules to proxy/
forward request.

Is there an order or precendence when the RewriteRule or LocationMatch
trigger?

I need to be able to retain the current RewriteRules, but anything
else gets matched by LocationMatch and sent to the weblogic server.

Note sure if we are talking about the same thing...

I inherited this configuration file, the issue is I need some rewrite
rules to run before the location match. So if a rule does not
activate, then it falls through to location match and directs it to
weblogic server.

I need to understand if the rewrite rules will run before location
match if order before.

thanks
