Running JSP's w/ Apache and Tomcat

[Jeff Brown <je...@citrix.com>]

hi,

I would like to set up apache and tomcat so that apache handles all of my
static html pages and all of the JSP pages are handled by tomcat....
basically exactly how JServ/GNUJSP works.  What do I need to add to
tomcat.conf/server.xml in order to get this scenario to work correctly?
I've been playing with different context settings and have checked all
available docs and faqs without any success.  With a default set up (simply
installing Tomcat, putting my jars in /lib and including tomcat.conf in
httpd.conf) when I try to access a jsp file that's in my
/usr/local/apache/htdocs dir, I get an error saying it can't be found in
webapps/ROOT.  Copying the file there seems to make it work, but then I have
to maintain the same file in two places because as soon as I remove it from
my apache document root, apache can no longer find the file and I don't even
get the Tomcat error.

Anyone out there with a similar scenario?  It seems like this should be
fairly basic, but the included documentation on Apache/Tomcat configs is
sketchy at best.
