I would not comment on the Apache HTTP server configuration. Just on
the quoted part above. You have not told us what Tomcat version you
are using, but in current Tomcat 6 and 7 you can add "apps#" prefix to
the subdirectory and war file names in webapps directory and it will
add "apps/" to their URL, e.g.:
mv webapps/my_app webapps/apps#my_app
A war file name would be "apps#my_app.war" See "Context" page in
"Configuration Reference Guide" for more details.
