If you only want that index page there, then just move it under /ROOT/.
But if you want the whole of "appexmp1" to be called without the /appexmp1/
prefix, then :
In Tomcat itself, it is not complicated, just follow the earlier-mentioned FAQ.
(from memory: make a backup of /ROOT/*; delete what is under /ROOT/; move what
is in
/appexmp1/* to /ROOT/*; delete /appexmp1; modify your Context files
accordingly; restart
Tomcat).
BUT, you are going to have a harder time making the JkMount's work under Apache
httpd.
Because now, you would have to replace this :
>> JkMount /appexmp1/* appexmp1
by this :
>> JkMount /* appexmp1
That's fine if you still want /appexmp2/* to be forwarded to the other
application.
But if you also want the other application on the other tomcat to be ROOT on
that tomcat,
you have a problem, because of course you cannot have
>> JkMount /* appexmp1
>> JkMount /* appexmp2
Think about it. Maybe a better way would be to have a /index.html under
Apache, with
links to /appexmp1 and /appexmp2 ?
Also by the way, another little error in your previous setup :
In this :
>> JkMount /appexmp1/* appexmp1
>> JkMount /appexmp1/*.jsp appexmp1
In the first line, you are already forwarding /appexmp1/* anyway, so the second
line is
useless.

One of the reasons I have installed stand alone Apache along with Tomcat
is
maybe in future use a load balancing feature and load balance several
Tomcats.
do you think linking /index.html to /appexmp1 would make problem in tomcat ?
By linking /index.html to /appexmp1, do you mean forwarding by placing
following metadata in index.html file:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="5;url=mydomain.com/appexmp1/index.jsp" />
or there are other ways of linking index.html to
mydomain.com/appexmp1/index.jsp ?
