You need to add the index.jsp to the possible "DirectoryIndex"
directive. For example:

#
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp
</IfModule>

If you call a URL without a file spec, Apache will try all the files in
the DirectoryIndex directive utnil it his one.
