While you are developing a grails app, by default you are using an embedded Tomcat instance.
Sometimes you’ll need to do some configuration, in my case I had to proxy my tomcat instance with an Apache web server through mod_proxy_ajp .
When you have a standalone server running, you can easily change your server.xml file to add an AJP conector which listens for the Apache connections.
To do this within your grails app simply create a _Events.groovy file in your scripts folder of the grails project, and add the configurations needed by your app to the tomcat instance.

You can also add other tomcat configuration such as Tomcat users and roles: link
