Apache can be linked to Tomcat using either HTTP or AJP protocols. You
have some options for each:

HTTP: mod_proxy_http, provided by Apache httpd since many versions ago
AJP: mod_proxy_ajp, included in Apache httpd since 2.2.x
~     mod_jk, a separate package that has existed for a long time
~     mod_jk2, a separate package that has been abandoned

(I've included that last one since it looks like you have a relatively
old setup... Apache 1.3, etc.)

All options are equally well supported (except mod_jk2), and each has
their champions and complainants.

You should be able to find out which modules have been enabled and which
are configured to do something with your application.

If you see "ProxyPass" keywords near your app configuration in
httpd.conf (or one of its friends), you're using mod_proxy_http (since
mod_proxy_ajp wasn't available until a later version of Apache httpd
than the one you are running).

Instead, if you see "Jk[Something]", then you are more likely running
mod_jk (or the ghastly mod_jk2).

A few notes:
* Your JDK version is quite old relative to your Tomcat version.
~  If you don't have the "compatibility package" installed, you'll have
~  problems. Consider upgrading to Java 1.5 or 1.6.

* I didn't see anywhere in your configuration where you mentioned
~  index.jsp, so I'm guessing that Tomcat's <welcome-file> setting is
~  being used. Can you tell us if you are getting the 404 from Apache
~  httpd or Tomcat?
