if you just want to see the welcome page and by clicking a url on that page if you want to redirected to tomcat... easy way would be make your directory index as html for that particular virtual host and use then place a url or button on the welcome page and they you can get redirected to the java page... this might not be a best suggestion but effective one...
If you want to make the redirection automated after few seconds.. that can be achived too...
