Here's a guess (an educated one, since I had similar problems :-):
You're not specifying appropriate directives in the tomcat/apache conf
file to tell apache to pass that URL to tomcat. Hence, apache is
handling that URL (and it's only tomcat knows about the welcome file).
If you're using mod_jserv, these are ApJservMount directives; if
you're using mod_jk, I don't know, but I'd guess they're ApJKMount
directives. Anyway, look at the documentation for this conf file on
the tomcat web site.
