I'm actually working with mod_proxy - didn't see a category for it.
I installed JBoss AS 6 and deployed the sample.war that comes with Tomcat. Just grabbed it for testing.
I removed the ROOT.war from JBoss and replaced it with sample.war (rm ROOT.war; cp sample.war ROOT.war)
Below is what I appended the following to the httpd.conf.
This works at intended as I want users to go to http://mywebsite without users having to enter http://mywebsite:8080
However, when I go to the page, the images are missing and I can't get to the links.
Not sure what's going on.
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
NameVirtualHost X.X.X.X:80
<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
ServerName jboss1
ProxyPass / http://jboss1:8080
</VirtualHost>
OK, I continued to post should it help anyone. The resolution was the "/" at the end of 8080 or "ProxyPass / http://jboss1:8080/"
