Using Apache2 as proxy toward Tomcat7

Tomcat7 server hosts a website on my machine and I want to use Apache2 as a proxy to see it through my browser: http://localhost:8080/examples as http://localhost/examples.

I have installed Apache2 and Tomcat7, they both work on my computer. I have loaded mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http modules

In my http_vhosts.conf file I have:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ProxyRequests off 
  SSLProxyEngine on
  ProxyPreserveHost on
  ServerName mathost.workstation.org
  ProxyPass /examples http://localhost:8080/examples
  ProxyPassReverse /examples http://localhost:8080/examples
  ProxyRequests Off
</VirtualHost>

In my proxy_http.conf I have: 

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Location "/examples/">
 ProxyPass /examples http://localhost:8080/examples
 ProxyPassReverse /examples http://localhost:8080/examples
 Order deny,allow
 Allow from all
</Location>

It doesn't work, apache logs say "GET /examples/ HTTP/1.1" 404 207".

Solved. The problem was the path "/example/". I had to use the right url: "/example". Then, http_vhosts.conf had 2 vhost on port 80, absolute useless.
