I believe you are missing an element above : both Apache and Tomcat 
cannot be listening on the same port 80 on the same server.  So you must 
be proxying "http://myserver.com/abd" to 
"http://myserver.com:8080/myapp/abd", no ?

Anyway, do you have other applications than "/myapp" on your Tomcat server ?
If not, then you could make /myapp be the ROOT application under Tomcat.
See here for info of how to do that :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo
#38

If you do that, then you could access your (formerly) /myapp application 
  directly on Tomcat by "http://myserver.com:8080".
And by consequence, you could also from Apache proxy directly there.

Another thing : have you looked at the AJP connectors (mod_proy_ajp and 
mod_jk) ?
