Apache is a web server, but is not a JSP container.  You will need a
JSP container to process and execute the JSPs.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/tomcat5

You can add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list that refers to debian Sid
(aka "unstable").  If you do, you should also add a priority to
/etc/apt/preferences so that apt doesn't prefer Sid packages over
Ubuntu ones.  By doing this you can use aptitude or synaptic or
whatever to install the packages.
