That may work. But I'm not sure it's the "cleanest"/"best" way to do
it. I believe that tells apache what to use for the directory index
for that directory (or all directories -- which is even worse). But
really you've already told tomcat what the welcome file is. You just
want to get apache to pass to tomcat the relevant requests, and then
tomcat will know what to do with it.
