Let's maybe simplify this first :
If you are planning to always access Tomcat through Apache httpd, and if
the connection between Apache httpd and background Tomcat(s) is always
on the same host, or using a link that is internal and secure, then you
do not need to have Tomcat also use SSL/HTTPS.
You can make your clients connect via HTTPS to Apache, and Apache/mod_jk
use a non-SSL AJP connection to Tomcat.
That would be easier and more efficient.
If on the other hand, you absolutely want the Apache http -to Tomcat
connection to be SSL, you can configure that also, but it is more
complicated.
In any case, start here for the mod_jk configuration directives :
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/
and pick the item :
Generic HowTo .. for the impatient
Then, if you have more questions, start by explaining this phrase above
: "..but when I try to access struts2 application it's not accessible"
How are you trying to access it, and what happens ?
Also provide some details about your Apache httpd and mod_jk
configuration, to allow people to help you without having to guess too much.
