Recently, I used the cheap and easy http redirects from my apache server to my tomcat server. I ran into two issues, that I hope someone is able to guide me to a better solution

First, I wanted to have the user not have to know about port 8080, and to have the root of the apache redirect to the tomcat servlet running. So for my apache, I had the
redirect of (in the httpd-vhosts.conf file)
...

The very first question is : do you use an Apache httpd front-end *only* in order to hide port 8080 ? Because if that is the case, why don't you just have Tomcat listening to port 80 directly ? It can also serve static pages, not just JSPs or servlets. The fact that you are using a proxy setup to proxy "/" to Tomcat, makes me wonder.

Second question : are Apache httpd and Tomcat running on the same host ?
