We use Apache, mod_jk and mod_rewrite to deliver the webapplication  
on port 80 and port 443 as separate VirtualHost entries in Apache  
httpd. We do not allow direct access to the tomcat server over port  
8080 or port 8443.  I can send some more detail of our configuration  
if you decide to go this route.
