Yes, I agree, Apache is an unnecessary complication for the moment and I
am focused now on getting things to work through port 8080.

But Tomcat does serve up pages when I run the app through Apache---for
one thing, the error messages are Tomcat-generated, not Apache, and for
another, the servlets do work, which Apache cannot make happen without
Tomcat.

I don't fully understand the invoker servlet myself, but here's what I
think I know:

The invoker mapping only applies to servlets, not html or jsps, and the
servlets are working (at least through Apache). If the invoker mapping
specifies /servlets/* then "servlets" must be included in the URL. By
taking it out of the invoker mapping, it does not need to be included in
the URL. So, http://localhost/servlets/do_something is required if the
mapping is as you say it should be, and http://localhost/do_something is
the URL if the mapping is as I have it.

Is that not correct?
