JMeter includes an AJP13 client. I would expect that to be overkill though.

I also do not know of any fully featured Java based reverse proxy 
servlet. In your case, you might be able to write something reasonable 
on top of httpclient for the HTTP protocol (using http to the backend 
and not AJP13).

It's not trivial, because e.g. you can't simply forward all HTTP headers 
(some of them indicate prtocol features, and if you forward them you 
need to configure your backend connection to be in compliance with what 
the headers indicate - example: connection keep alive handling). 
Nevertheless, if you understand the cases for which you actually need 
the forwarding good enough and they are limited in variation, it might 
be best to write the servlet from scratch using httpclient for the 
protocol part.
