I don't think you have a "servlet mapping" until you add
a <servlet-mapping> entry to your web.xml. I could be
wrong, but I don't believe the Servlet spec guarantees
you can access the servlet by name with just a
<servlet-name>.
That nitpick aside, I assume you are using Tomcat 3.2.x.
Neither mod_jk or mod_jserv pass web.xml information
to Apache. All Apache knows about Tomcat's contexts
is what it gets from the config file(s). You will need to
manually add the servlet mappings you need,
"JkMount /setup ajp13" in your case.
Tomcat 3.3 tries to support this a little better by including
servlet mappings in the auto-generated config file.
However, this is not the default behavior for generating
the config file. Instead, the default is to map all
requests related to a Tomcat context, and not have Apache
serve static files. This helps insure that the behavior
defined in the web.xml file functions properly.
You can try by specifying "JkMount / ajp13" and
"JkMount /* ajp13". Note that in spite of this, Apache
will still serve an "index.html" without giving Tomcat
a chance to serve the request.
Hope this helps.
