Using Apache as a proxy to access a J2EE web application
OK, you have created a great web application and now you want to expose it to the world, or perhaps a limited subset of it. You probably don't want to allow full access to your application server so you need a proxy.
The apache proxy module (mod_proxy) can be used with a simple configuration like below:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
SSLRequireSSL
</Proxy>
