Apache: Difference between and ProxyPass

apache-2.2mod-proxyvirtualhost

What is the difference between a ProxyPass directive:

ProxyPass         /     http://localhost:8080/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse  /     http://localhost:8080/

And a <Proxy> directive:

<Proxy http://localhost:8080/*>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>

In Apache configuration files?

I often see these two in the same virtualhost section, an I am not sure what is the difference.

With the ProxyPass (link) directive, you define a proxy in the first place. The <proxy ...> (link) section can contain processing directives for the proxied content. This is something you can learn yourself by just reading the docs, hence the downvotes.
