Larry:
The JkMount is in the apache httpd.conf file, but the web.xml
should be read by tomcat when it starts up. Apache is not
even in the picture yet.
I think the problem is that tomcat is either:
1. Not processing the web.xml.
2. Not finding the setup servlet.
I dont think this has anything to do with the servlet
mappings of apache.
Thanks,
Neil.
