Resolution

RHEL optional sub-channel or repository provides the webapps packages.
To install the package with yum, you need to subscribe the system to the channel or repository.

[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server]
# rhn-channel -a -c rhel-`uname -i`-server-optional-6 -u <Your RHN ID> -p <Your Password>

[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation]
# rhn-channel -a -c rhel-`uname -i`-workstation-optional-6 -u <Your RHN ID> -p <Your Password>
[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server]
# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms

[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation]
# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-workstation-optional-rpms

After adding the channel or repository, install the packages:

# yum install tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps
