Desperately in need of help!! apache webserver question!

Question

Guys,
I need ur help!! I am on the verge of breakdown!! what the funny part is i have done the tough part fairly easily but the easy part is annoying me. here is my problem:
I have setup virtualhosts defnition for my webserver. post configuration i have now Apache 2.0 + tomcat 5.5 and mod_jk running successfully on my machine.
The files that i have modified are
httpd.conf
workers.properties and
server.xml
what i want is:
when i give url: as http://www.mydomain.com
this has to bring up the tomcat web application which can otherwise be invoked by url: http://www.mydomain.com:8080/myapplication
what i am able to achieve is i can load the application via apache withou having to specify the port number like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/myapplication
but i want 'myapplication' to be automatically loaded when given just the servername itself!!
please this must be a simple thing..help me!
i have modified jkMount /myapplication/*.jsp
I have to get this working by today evening i am sick and tired of this...

httpd.conf
<VirtualHost xxx.xx.xx.xx:8080>
ServerName xyz.domain.edu
ServerAlias xyz.domain.edu* www.domain.org domain.org
DocumentRoot /usr/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/webapps
ServerPath /neuroMor
ErrorLog logs/xyz.domain.edu-error_log
CustomLog logs/xyz.domain.edu-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xxx.xx.xx.xx:8080>
ServerName www.domain.org
ServerPath /neuroMor
DocumentRoot /usr/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/webapps
ErrorLog logs/www.domain.org-error_log
CustomLog logs/www.domain.org-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
#To be added at the end of your httpd.conf tomcat auto-configure
Include /usr/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
# Load mod_jk module
LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
# Where to find workers.properties
JkWorkersFile /usr/local/apache/workers.properties
# Where to put jk logs
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel info
# Select the log format
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
# JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE,
JkOptions ForwardKeySize ForwardURICompat ForwardDirectories
# JkRequestLogFormat set the request format
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
# Static files in the neuroMor webapp are served by apache
Alias /neuroMor /usr/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/webapps/neuroMor
# The following line prohibits users from directly access WEB-INF
<Location "/neuroMor/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
#JkAutoAlias /usr/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/webapps
# Send servlet for context /examples to worker named worker1
JkMount /index.jsp ajp13
# Send JSPs for conext /examples to worker named worker1
JkMount /* ajp13
I want to show neuroMor/index.jsp page when i give the url for
http://xyz.domain.edu without specifying any relative path name.
workers.properties
workers.tomcat_home=$CATALINA_HOME
workers.java_home=$JAVA_HOME
ps=/
worker.list=ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13.lbfactor=1
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=ajp13
worker.inprocess.type=jni
worker.inprocess.class_path=$(workers.tomcat_home)$(ps)server$(ps)lib
worker.inprocess.cmd_line=start
worker.inprocess.jvm_lib=$(workers.java_home)$(ps)jre$(ps)lib$(ps)
i386$(ps)server$(ps)libjvm.so
worker.inprocess.stdout=$(workers.tomcat_home)$(ps)logs$(ps)inprocess.stdout
worker.inprocess.stderr=$(workers.tomcat_home)$(ps)logs$(ps)inprocess.stderr
Everything is working just fine..all i want is to show my default page as my application index.jsp page.
-Many thanks for any kind of help
