Quick question. Embelish or not as you see fit.

I have all the samples running but I still a bit fuzzy about the port stuff.
Before I go hog wild into writing some servlet code There is a piece I still
havn't grasped.

I kinda understand that by calling apache with *http://localhost:8080*
it returns the index.htm from TomCat

Doesn't Apache determine by the URI if it should serve or send it to
TomCat?  In my ignorance, I really don't even know why were using 8080,
is it just because "the root below 1024 thing"?  I have an index.htm in
my Apache document root that is a straight static html page, very much
like the index page in TomCat.  I was expecting that if I called like:
*http://localhost* I'd get that file--- If there was some form of added
URL e.g *http://localhost/examples-test or
http://localhost/blah/foo.jsp, it (Apache) would tell TomCat to go
elsewhere.
