You miss the points. Some things to consider:

1. Apache is included and installed on the database machine. Assuming you have access to the machine, look at $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache to get started.
2. Java is irrelevant. Apache is included and installed on your machine.
3. You mention JSP. Means Java Server Pages. So you mean some form of Java.
4. Learn something about web servers. Having Other web servers around is also irrelevant as you can punt from one to the next. Consider getting O'Reilly's basic Apache book.
5. PLSQL is a great way to connect to DB (using mod_plsql). Saves a lot of hassle.
6. mod_PERL is included.
7. Just 'cause Apache 2 is included don't mean you have to use it - it's not necessarily better (for this purpose), just different.
