Chuck, Thank you for your reply.
I didn't copy 4.1 server.xml but instead build it fresh on 5.5
provided server.xml.
Following is the server.xml (removed comments and commented lines)

There are numerous syntactic and semantic changes in 5.5 that are best handled by modifying the default 5.5 server.xml file to suit your requirements rather than trying to modify a 4.1 server.xml file to work with 5.5.

My preferred Apache httpd configuration is something like this:
Alias /contextName /path/to/webapp/root
JkStripSession On
JkMount /contextName/*.do myWorker
JkMount /contextName/*.jsp myWorker
<Location "/diagnosis">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
SetEnvIf X-Moz "prefetch" x_moz_prefetch
Deny from env=x_moz_prefetch
ErrorDocument 403 /contextName/forbidden.html
ErrorDocument 404 /contextName/not_found.html
ErrorDocument 500 /contextName/down.html
# This one means 'servlet unavailable'
ErrorDocument 503 /contextName/down.html
</Location>
# Directories above this one should already be protected
# elsewhere. MAKE SURE THEY ARE.
<Directory "/path/to/webapp/root">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html
</Directory>
<Directory "/path/to/webapp/root/WEB-INF">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/path/to/webapp/root/META-INF">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Ok, that "LocationMatch" (which you did not mention before, and which
still smells fishy if it is really outside of your <VirtualHost>
section), makes things somewhat better, although it still smells like fish.
By the way, as written, that is a *very expensive* match, and one that
will also match things like
/any/path/even/NOT-WEB-INF/abc.gif
/any/path/even/WEB-INFORMATION-DEPARTMENT/abc.gif
and under Windows, will not stop people getting to your WEB-INF like so
: http://192.168.1.23/test/web-inf/web.xml
What also still smells fishy is the line
> Alias /test /var/www/testapp/
Why is it there ? What does it achieve, that the following 2 lines do not ?
> JkMount /*.do ajp13
> JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
As a matter of fact, in the case of your configuration above, what does
the Apache httpd front-end achieve, that Tomcat alone could not ?
(I am not saying that you do not have good reasons to have an Apache
httpd in front. Just that it is not very evident from the above why you
need it. And if you don't need it, you would gain simplicity and
efficiency by taking it out of the equation).
I have a much longer and detailed explanation of my above comments ready
for you if you are interested, but if your purpose was simply to get
this running on some test system, then it may not be worth it.
But at least read this
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/apache.html
(the section entitled "Configuring Apache to serve static web
application files")

Hi Andre,
I got Forbidden - You don't have permission to access
/test/WEB-INF/web.xml on this server.
Under httpd.conf, just before VirtualHost I have following to deny all
from accessing WEB-INF folder.
Httpd.conf configuration:
# Globally deny access to the WEB-INF directory
<LocationMatch '.*WEB-INF.*'>
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
<VirtualHost …>
DocumentRoot /var/www/testapp
Alias /test /var/www/testapp/
JkMount /*.do ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
</VirtualHost>
Do you still smell something fishy here?

But this part, and what follows :
Httpd.conf configuration:
<VirtualHost …>
DocumentRoot /var/www/testapp
Alias /test /var/www/testapp/
JkMount /*.do ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
</VirtualHost>
I definitely find bizarre.
Can you try the following URL in your browser :
http://192.168.1.23/test/WEB-INF/web.xml
and let us know what you get ?

Chuck, you rock!!!
I changed the appBase to "/var/www" for Host, added "testapp" in the
Context docBase and restarted the tomcat and it worked!!!
I will work on migrating the Context elements to the META-INF folder
as suggested by you.
Again, thank you very much for your help on this and you have have a
wonderful day.

The above is wrong; docBase should be "testapp"; you must never have an empty docBase. A bug in prior levels of Tomcat occasionally caused something useful to happen when you did that, but it was an accident.
Note that putting <Context> elements in server.xml is strongly discouraged; the proper location is in a webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Also, if you're defining the default webapp, it should be named ROOT. Read the Tomcat docs:
