Despite different configurations tested, my investigation on the web, I can not get them to work, except when the redirection is done to
http://openways.us:8080/Trident, but then without SSL
Please help recommending me the correct configuration or place to investigate

I finally investigated many sources in past two days, and reached to configurations that worked perfectly as follows:
First of all
in httpd.conf
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so

I sincerely hope this solution help others like me in their initial steps to configure SSL certificates and combinations of Apache / Tomcat

You have 
ServerName www.openways.us/Trident
ServerAlias openways.us/Trident

This doesn't match any host as the host never contains any part of the path.
Remove them, first:
ServerName www.openways.us
ServerAlias openways.us

Then, supposedly the lower <VirtualHost *:80> is trying to be the SSL version, but it only uses SSL on its connection to the Tomcat server  behind. It doesn't implement SSL to the client at all, i.e.
client <--HTTP(80)--> proxy <--HTTPS(8443)--> tomcat

While both of these would do:
client <--HTTPS(443)--> proxy <--HTTPS(8443)--> tomcat

client <--HTTPS(443)--> proxy <--HTTP(8080)--> tomcat

For that, you'd need to have a HTTPS virtual host, instead.

I have tried changing the servers and Virtual host as follows

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName  trident.openways.us
ServerAlias openways.us/Trident
ProxyRequests on
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all

SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass /Trident  https://openways.us:8443/Trident
ProxyPassReverse /Trident  https://openways.us:8443/Trident
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://openways.us/Trident


The SSL definitions are in the server.xml configuration, I do not get a correct path to Tomcat

Your Apache won't use certificates from Tomcat configuration.

Esa, thanks for your comment. Apache has its own definitions and SSL certificates. Tomcat is having separate certificates in the subdomain

I don't see any subdomains in your configuration and your Apache VirtualHost is clearly plain HTTP. I don't see any point having TLS (only) between the proxy and the Tomcat.

I reconfigured www.openways.us  to   trident.openways.us

The SSL configuration for  Apache is done in httpd-ssl.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>
ErrorLog "C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\logs\error.log"
TransferLog "C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\logs\access.log"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile    "C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra\openways.us_ssl_certificate.cer"
SSLCertificateKeyFile
"C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra_.openways.us_private_key.key"
SSLCACertificateFile
"C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra-.openways.us_ssl_certificate_INTERMEDIATE.cer"


Not related, doesn't affect this VirtualHost on port 80 at all.

You can also use mod_jk (Apache Tomcat Connectors) to do the same.
