Since you are on Windows, you don't have to worry about the privileged ports restriction for running Tomcat like you do on a UNIX variant, so why not just run Tomcat on port 80 and be done with the whole web server issue completely?

Well, I am doing this on apache 2.0.44. My DirectoryIndex has index.html and index.jsp. I am directing *.jsp to tomcat. Requesting the directory without a filename causes index.jsp to be processed by tomcat and the result returned.
I am also using mod_jk2 if that makes a difference.

Switching to Apache wouldn't solve it unless you wanted to use mod_rewrite. Check the archives for last fall...there were bunches of threads on this topic for quite awhile. AFAIK, nothing's changed, though I was off this list for several weeks recently and its very possible someone came up with a workaround that I missed.
