They're right, you know...
You can do something like this:
* configure a Coyote HTTP connector (but I guess you've done that already),
* in your Apache conf file:
NameVirtualHost x.y.z.t:80
<VirtualHost your.server.name:80>
ServerName your.server.name
#
# DO NOT FORGET THE TRAILING SLASHES!
#
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
</VirutalHost>
This way, Tomcat will serve everything AND your 8080 port will not
even show in the URL. Heck, your Tomcat/JBoss can even be on a
different machine (just change localhost).
