Redirect Apache to Tomcat on Vesta CP

Question

I have a VPS server with Ubuntu 18 O.S. In this VPS I have installed VESTA CP, which comes with Apache 2 and Nginx. After that I have intalled Tomcat 9(port 8082) to serve a Java Spring based webapp. If I enter the address "serverIP:8082/AppFolder" I can access the app, but I want to redirect the apache server to the tomcat one, so I can write the domain name and load the webapp.

I have tried .htaccess file but it shows an apache error page. I have no permission to view this file is the message.

What can I do to solve this?

-Nginx config:

location / {
    proxy_pass      http://IP:8080;
    location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf|psd|ai|eot|eps|ps|zip|tar|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|7z|aac|m4a|mp3|mp4|ogg|wav|wma|3gp|avi|flv|m4v|mkv|mov|mpeg|mpg|wmv|exe|iso|dmg|swf)$ {

        access_log     /var/log/apache2/domains/webapp.com.log combined;
        access_log     /var/log/apache2/domains/webapp.com.bytes bytes;
        expires        max;
        try_files      $uri @fallback;
    }
}

location /error/ {
    alias   /home/admin/web/webapp.com/document_errors/;
}

location @fallback {
    proxy_pass      http://IP:8080;
}

-Apache config:

<VirtualHost IP:8080>

    ServerAlias www.webapp.com

    </Directory>
    <Directory /home/admin/web/webapp.com/stats>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    <IfModule mod_ruid2.c>
        RMode config
        RUidGid admin admin
        RGroups www-data
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule itk.c>
        AssignUserID admin admin
    </IfModule>

    IncludeOptional /home/admin/conf/web/apache2.webapp.com.conf*

</VirtualHost>

Thanks.

Finally I have found an answer...editing the config file of nginx:

proxy_pass      http://IP:8082; <--TOMCAT PORT
root           /home/admin/web/webapp.com/public_html; <--JSP PAGES PATH

Default config file has the Apache port and apache html pages path. I suppose this can be done using apache proxy_mod, but I don´t know which way is better...if anyone can explain the two ways(via apache or via nginx) I apreciate it.
