Assumptions:
1. Only uri starting with /hello* will be reverse-proxied to the backend server
2. Other uri will be handled by the web server
Preparations:
1. Determine from server.xml what is the file name of the obj.conf file for the virtual
server to be configured e.g. instancename-obj.conf
instancename-obj.conf
