Integrate Apache2 with Tomcat on Ubuntu 9.10 server

• Type following command: sudo a2enmod proxy. This will enables both proxy modules
• To redirect all incoming requests to your tomcat you can simply update your default site under sites-available directory
• First cd to /etc/apach2/sites-available. Then, sudo vi default.
  Next is to modify the Virtual Host block
  Next, add following lines into Virtual Host block sample file can be found here
  ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
  ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
  This will redirect all incoming request to port 80 to tomcat that runs on port 8009 (AJP port). To add more virtual hosts one can simply clone this default and include a ServerName directive for new domain name.

  Next is to modify the Virtual Host block
  Next, add following lines into Virtual Host block sample file can be found here
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
  This will redirect all incoming request to port 80 to tomcat that runs on port 8080 (HTTP port). To add more virtual hosts one can simply clone this default and include a ServerName directive for new domain name.

Based on our experience with different types of connector. mod jk is not recommended as proxy ajp is much simpler to setup and less error prone. One can use proxy ajp to set up multi virtual hosting easily or map sub domain to tomcat sub domains etc.
