Why this requirement? Be very careful not to mistake Apache the web server 
proper (that cannot serve JSP at all) for the bastardized Oracle HTTP 
Server (that comes installed with JServ).

I don't know how could you serve JSPs with Apache, and I don't believe 
you'll want to use JServ thru Oracle HTTP Server, once you discover how old 
and unsupported it is...

I'm using Apache to serve static content (HTML, images, Flash, etc.) and 
Orion to serve JSP and servlets, and to run the business logic of my 
application. Apache is configured as a front-end to Orion thru mod_proxy. 
The main benefit is that Orion doesn't get bothered with serving static 
content.

I apologize if I'm misunderstanding your question, but I strongly get the 
impression that you believe that Apache is a JSP container. It is not, 
Apache isn't a "web server context" in the J2EE sense of the word "context".
