If you are using the Apache web server in front of JBoss/Tomcat, this is fairly easy to do. Otherwise, I think you need to change your JBoss settings to run Tomcat on the standard http port 80 (if on Linux, has to run as root) and deploy your application as the ROOT context. Another option on Linux is to run JBoss on port 8080 and use iptables to forward port 80 to port 8080 - that way JBoss doesn't need to run as root, but still can "run" on port 80.
Maybe "shelter" would be firewall or proxy? Many times JBoss/Tomcat is "fronted" by the Apache web server so Apache sits "in front" of JBoss/Tomcat and can server static content while using the AJP module to hand off JSP/Servlet requests to JBoss/Tomcat. Also since Apache doesn't run as root, the adds some security if you don't want to forward ports.
