This command created a symlink to index.html, not to the entire
directory. You should instead do this:

$ cd /home/myadmin
$ mv public_html public_html.old
$ ln -s /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain public_html

This will give you the proper symlink.

Apache httpd is still serving all your files. You need to convince
Apache httpd to forward all your requests to Tomcat. No amount of
symlinking will accomplish this.

You'll need to edit httpd.conf after making a decision: Use HTTP or
HTTPS or AJP for proxying?

If you want Tomcat to serve everything, why not dump httpd altogether?
