Apache Proxy for Tomcat

ADDING APACHE WEB SERVER AS PROXY FOR TOMCAT
1. Configure the copy of Apache so that it includes the mod_proxy module. In httpd.conf file enable these:
LoadModule proxy_module {path-to-module}/mod_proxy.so and
LoadModule proxy_http_module {path-to-module}/mod_proxy_http.so

2. Next Add Two Directives in the httpd.conf file for each web application that need to forward to the Tomcat as:
ProxyPass /myapp http://tomcat-ip:8081/myapp
ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://tomcat-ip:8081/myapp
