Hi Jen,

Thank you so much for your reply. However, I heard that mod_proxy is slower 
that Mod JK, so I made a switch just a little while ago :)


Here is what the users expect.

1.If the users type (http://)www.zethanath.tk in the browser, mod_rewrite, near 
the end of http vhost conf, 
would redirect the user to (https://www.zethanath.tk). I am using mod_rewrite 
here.  

<VirtualHost *:80 >

...

RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.zethanath.tkRewriteRule ^ 
https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>

 
2. At this point, SSL vhost should use Mod JK to redirect the users to my 
GWT application on TomEE Server. My GWT application, in this case, is 
stored at /opt/tomcat/webapps/ with the name *Index.war. *but I do not know 
why I keep getting "404 The resource is not available". 

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
  <VirtualHost _default_:443>
  ...

  
  DocumentRoot "/opt/tomcat/webapps/*Index*"


  JKMountCopy On  JKMount /* ajp13_worker


  ...  

  </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>


I can see my GWT application working correct as http://
192.168.1.70:8080/Index 
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.70%3A8080%2FIndex&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNECicSoogFby0KDLn-iZZIY8-78mw>
 
from Firefox, but I do not know why I got 404 error.
I allow 8080 on my firewall and router. I assigned 775 permission on 
Index.war, as well as the associated Index directory.

Maybe the statement here does not take port 8080 into consideration ? -> 
"DocumentRoot "/opt/tomcat/webapps/*Index*"
Maybe I should try get rid of this same line within http vhost config file?
