I have tomcat running within apache. This was recommended by the user guide for
performance reasons. I'm wondering if running tomcat within apache has anything
to do with why I can't serve index.jsp as a default file for my application
directories. Do I have to anything on the apache end?
Thanks.

Beyond the fact that Apache will give you a wealth of options for
configuration, it serves static pages MUCH faster than tomcat. Once you get
SSL working with Apache, its pretty transparent to tomcat for example - your
servlets will use SSL without any extra work by yourself.
