FrontController Apache / Tomcat
I'm trying to implement the FrontController design pattern from Sun. But we keep on running into problems when we port the application to apache/Tomcat structure. It works fine in a tomcat stand alone. De context is initialised and the servlet is found using the url pattern, however when we call this application from Apache the servlets aren't found. I think it has something to do with the server.xml file. Both are running on the same machine
Any suggestions please?

Because he can't find the servlet there no other log files
server.xml
<Context path="/frontcontroller"
docBase="E:/apache/tomcat/webapps/frontcontroller"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"/>
Web.xml
<web-app>
<display-name>FrontController</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MainServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>FrontController</display-name>
