The easiest way is to rely on you network admins to ensure no one is eavesdropping. But sometimes that isn't possible.

The next easiest way to use an ssh tunnel between tomcat and apache. You need google for the specifics. But from your apache servers - if you have one tomcat - you'd probably do this:

ssh -N -L 8009:tomcat1.joedog.org:8009 -C -f ssh.joedog.org
Or if you have ssh installed on tomcat1.joedog.org - you can save yourself an extra hop:
ssh -N -L 8009:localhost:8009 -C -f tomcat1.joedog.org

Of course - there will be a performance tradeoff by using this trick but the security tradeoff can be worth it.

See google for more details on ssh tunneling.
