Apache 2.2 + Tomcat connection how to. We suggest to do it with Proxy Module from Apache.
First you need you enable Proxy module.

a2enmod proxy a2enmod proxy_http
a2enmod proxy_ajp

then add to your virtual host config, by default it is /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

ProxyPass /tomcattest ajp://localhost:8009/tomcattest/
ProxyPassReverse /tomcattest ajp://localhost:8009/tomcattest/

after adding ProxyPass to 000-default, it will look like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
….
ProxyPass /tomcattest ajp://localhost:8009/tomcattest/
ProxyPassReverse /tomcattest ajp://localhost:8009/tomcattest/
