All I know is the behavior I see on my servers. I have DirectoryIndex set to index.jsp. My Apache has mod_dir.
Calling a directory mapped to Tomcat (such as /myApp) with http://localhost/myApp doesn't return anything, definitely not index.jsp. This is on 4.0.4 and 4.1.12. If your DirectoryIndex does work with index.jsp, I'd be interested in seeing your configuration. About the only way I can think of to approach this problem is to play with the load order for the Apache modules...perhaps loading mod_jk at a different time or loading mod_dir after mod_jk might change the behavior. For me, at this time, it's just easier to stick an index.html file in there with a refresh of 0.
