documentroot

I have an application running on tomcat and fronted with Apache. My server name is www.abc.com so in my vHost setting I have

DocumentRoot /home/user/www.abc.com    
ServeName www.abc.com

ProxyPass /app http://localhost:8080/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://localhost:8080/app

The DocumentRoot has a static file index.html, which I would like to serve when www.abc.com is requested and all other requests should be directed to tomcat via the proxypass. Which is the easiest way to achieve this?

Thanks
