I'm in the same boat myself. It looks like Apache isn't fielding your servelet requests. After you got the Tomcat examples running, could you get Apache to forward the requests to Tomcat as appropriate? That is, could you get the examples running using a non-virtual host with Apache? I've gotten that far but haven't been able to get the virtual hosts to work either. In my case, I'm getting 500 errors which seems to indicate a problem with java locating the things it needs. I suspect that I need to reconfigure the applications to make them work but I'm groping around in the dark here too.
