How to configure Archive to run on Tomcat fontend by Apache

[Paul Spencer <pa...@apache.org>]

I would like to frontend the Tomcat 6 server running Archiva with an 
Apache web server to simplify the URL and make it easier to move the 
Archiva server.  As an example, dev.foo.com is our development server 
and http://dev.foo.com/archiva is the desired url for the archiva 
server.  The intent is to route the traffic from the Apache server to 
the Tomcat server via mod_jk.

Questions:

1) How to I configure archive to display the desired url in the 
repository's WebDAV URL and "Pom Snippet" fields on the web page?

   Please note that Archiva is installed as a "Web application" and
   Tomcat is configured not to expand the war.

2) Is their a reason NOT to do this?

I think most of us just use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse.

Nope.
