How to have an HTTPD2.2 virtual host integrate with a local App Server

    Hi guys.
    I've got Apache 2.2 configured locally to abstract our Client-side Presentation layer code away from all of the Server-side Presentation layer code, image files, and static resources (a lot of them)

    So essentially, if someone pulls code down from svn and configures Apache to my specifications, they can nav to

    http://companysite.local which is an Apache VirtualHost that will forward proxy requests to companysite.local/img to http://test.companysite.com/img

    Basically, this will free a "client-side only"(i.e. javascript, css, html5, etc) developer from having to configure and run all of the other server technologies locally.

    So now on to step 2: I need to be able to configure Apache and an application server to play nice together on a local machine with Apache proxy passing requests to jsps to the AppServer. I've seen a couple of "Apache and JBoss integration" articles around, but does anyone have a "Goto process" or "Goto article" that they have used to do this?

    ok...so I think I've determined a course of action:

    I didn't realize that HTTPD 2.2 has access to the "mod_proxy_ajp" module (as in, I didn't know the mod_proxy_ajp module existed. I thought I was going to have to enable mod_jk) That'll help in connecting to Tomcat quite a bit....I have a follow up question, but I'll spin it up in a new thread
