is setting tomcat application url to http:// hostname/application/ possible?

I have a setup, with tomcat running on port 8080 and apache webserver running on port 80.

So if I access http://localhost:8080/myapplication/ , it works.

But I need to be able to make it like : http://localhost/application/, but since my http web server runs on port 80, it seems that i need some re-direction logic or changes at the tomcat to achieve this.

Can anyone please suggest i way out. Thanks.

UPDATE: Just found that there is already a solution provided here: How do I redirect from Apache to Tomcat?

Since you mentioned about "users", I am guessing you are implying "hostname", when you mention "localhost". If you have a Load Balancer and a user friendly DNS name that you would give to the users, you can configure your Load Balancer software to route all requests to "hostnameyougavetotheUsers" to "yourinternalhostname:8080".

You need to look at the Tomcat-Apache HOWTO.

It is entirely possible and in fact quite common for apache and tomcat to be used in combination by the tactics described in this page.

And this question really probably belongs on serverfault...
