It's not really an Apache matter, but it can be solved by Apache, with mod_proxy_html.
The cause of the problem is that a lot of webapps, including roller will query to application server they run on what their context path is. This is very common, only because you use a reverse proxy, the application server is not really the one serving to the client, therefor you get those wrong paths. The best solution has already been said, make sure the application on the applicationserver is running on the same context as where the requests com in at your reverse proxy. The other solution is mod_proxy_html, which has just been mentioned. But beware, this module will parse every page it gets, and replaces all the occurrences of one hostname:port/context with something else you configured. But only if it occurs in certain attributes (like src in img and href in a). This does not perform well on high traffic websites. I only use it for small low-traffic webapps for which it is not worth running a dedicated application server.
