Seems to me there are two options. 1. Use mod_jk to send everything back to Tomcat. Httpd just acts as a middle man passing stuff back and forth.

2. Use mod_rewrite and mod_proxy to setup a reverse proxy, still passing everything back and forth. If doing it this way, Tomcat's connector needs the proxyName and proxyPort attributes defined.

I have to have the Apache HTTP in front.  Don't want it there but it is
required by the customer.  So they type in http://myserver/webapp and expect

http://myserver:8080/webapp and you will get to the application server.
They say we don't want to type in the port just make 80 redirect to the
application server port.  So, I am here trying to figure out the easiest way
to redirect all traffic from 80 to 8080 and still have the apache running in
front.  Should I use remote proxies?

Thanks,

But I have an Apache HTTP server front end and I want to redirect port 80 so that it goes to port 8080.

If by the above you mean you want to send all port 80 requests through
to Tomcat on port 8080, why are you bothering with httpd at all?  Just
take it out and configure Tomcat to use port 80.

Or maybe you need to supply more information...
