Just want to thank everyone for their help and discussion on this problem.
And, I wanted to let everyone know what I found out. Milt, it was your
question about my Web-inf directory and whether it was all uppercase or not
that cracked it.
I originally created that directory as "Web-inf" but apparently on Linux,
Tomcat expects this directory to be
"WEB-INF." Once I renamed this directory and changed the <Location> tag in
mod_jk.conf appropriately, I was able to get the servlet mappings for the
context I added to work.
One thing to note, Tomcat for NT is not picky about this, because on my NT
deployment of Tomcat, I have the WEB-INF directory named "web-inf" and
everything works fine.
In summary, here are the two things that I had to fix to get my context's
servlet mappings working on Linux:
* add "JkMount /[deployment directory]/* ajp13" to the mod_jk.conf file.
(This originally solved the problem of the /test servlets not working, and I
had to add it to my context as well.)
* ensure that WEB-INF is all uppercase.
Thanks again,
--Kyle

We may be going around in circles here, but:
What was the URL you tried? mydomain.com/tst/foo/bar/myServlet? And
what is the full text of the tomcat log 404 error message?
Also, I note you have "Web-inf" in the full path of your
servlet/classes directory below -- is that really what it is, or are
you just being lazy typing "WEB-INF" (because I believe it's supposed
to be ALL CAPS)?
Not sure what else to suggest at this point. Must be some little
thing we're missing.
