You need to put Apache Http server between user and JBoss server and not access your server directly from web. Configure Apache HTTP server to use mod_proxy with virtual host configuration. If your JBoss server runs on http://localhost:8080, it will look something like this in httpd.conf.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    ServerName www.website.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app1/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app1/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    ServerName www.anotherweb.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app2/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app2/
</VirtualHost>
