Apache tomcat configure to "see" site

Hi!

I want Apache Tomcat to be able to "see" my site... Whereas when I store a website folder under /srv/www/htdocs/ (for example /srv/www/htdocs/MYSITE) and change permissions it's visible immediately, when I do the same in /srv/www/tomcat5/base/webapps/ROOT/MYSITE , even if I make the folder have 777 permissions, i get the response:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

Must I specify something for Apache tomcat to see this new folder? And where? In some configuration file maybe?

Of course it works in apache, you're loading a folder into an already active web folder system. Tomcat should work the same as long as you have web access configured properly.

Do you plan to run JSP and servlets? If not, then why are you bothering with Tomcat?
