I suspect the key point there is that *Apache* is not able to find the
appropriate page, i.e. it's not even getting to Tomcat. The web.xml
files are only read by Tomcat. My guess is you need to insert some
appropriate directives in the tomcat/apache conf file so that Apache
knows to pass these URLs to Tomcat in the first place. What exactly
those are depends on which module you're using to connect Tomcat to
Apache (mod_jserv, mod_jk, mod_webapp). Check the tomcat/apache conf
file you have now for samples.
