Sam, Thanks for the response. I understand that I am circumventing apache by using localhost:8080, but it was useful in proving that tomcat was alive. And you are correct that I was not using 8080 to get the jsp pages to work! Which confused me entirely, because clearly tomcat knows what it is doing, Apache knows what to do with jsp references but the basic servlet bit failed! By the time I received your response I was just editing the worker.properties file having downloaded mod_jk.so - and it works! I had in the meantime downloaded the special mod_jserv for linux tomcat but that failed as well. I've read every stitch of doc I can find! Anyway, I am running now (examples at least - now I have to make my real job work!) thanks again for the clues.
