Configure Apache with multiple weblogic server instances

Configure Apache with multiple weblogic server instances
I came across a unique situation at work where I needed to configure Apache web server to forward requests to multiple weblogic server instances running on same box but different port numbers. Here is the scenario:

Instance A – http://test_server:7001/App1(Domain I)
Instance B – http://test_server:7003/App2 (Domain II)
Instance C – http://test_server:7005/App3 (Domain III)

I have App1 deployed on instance1 which is running in domain I. Similarly App2 deployed on instance 2, app3 deployed on instance 3. Needless to say all domains running in different ports(non-clustered environment).

Now I would like to configure my Apache to forward request to respective URLs based on what do they type in the URL.

If they type http://test_server/App1 should go to instance A.
If they type http://test_server/App2 should go to instance B.
If they type http://test_server/App3 should go to instance C.

When I use tag with location combination it did not work for me. But when I use tag for each app/instance in httpd.conf, it worked. Hope this information helps.
