I just found apache's mod_proxy and the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. With these two I was partially able to achieve what I wanted. The only problem now is that the web service is versioned. So for example there is now http://myserver.com/axis/services/serviceName-0.8
Which with the following mod_proxy settings: ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /serviceName-0.8 http://localhost:8514/axis/services/serviceName-0.8 ProxyPassReverse /serviceName-0.8 http://localhost:8514/axis/services/serviceName-0.8 Results in http://myserver.com/serviceName-0.8 mapping to http://localhost:8514/axis/services/serviceName-0.8 But because of the versioning I will have to make changes to httpd.conf every time a new version is added. But after understanding mod_proxy I understand mod_rewrite better, the following does the trick: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteLog c:\mod_rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/serviceName-([0-9]\.[0-9])$ http://localhost:8514/axis/services/serviceName-$1 [P] </IfModule> The [P] flag on the rule forces a proxy request to be made, i.e. this is a more powerful version of ProxyPass. You gotta love Apache. I hope I haven't wasted anyones time, and hopefully this can be of help to others.
