Howy, It's trying to load the page you requested, but failing, because of a compilation error. It looks like you're trying to run a JSP, not a servlet. Apache is correctly forwarding to tomcat, which attempts to compile the JSP in order to serve it, but fails.
Post the JSP source code for more help.
