Yes it will work that way. The servlet filter process the request it gets from apache the same way it will without it. Also with mod_jk or mod_proxy Make sure you don't already have some mod_rewrite rules set in your apache, they will take precedance over the filter [if applicable of course].

If this is the case then you will have to No, that's not really important. Just want to expose the site using a more "human-readable" URL format than one filled up with "="'s and "&"'s... ;) > Also, do you always plan to have apache in front?

There'll probably be an apache in front because it's already there being reverse-proxy for the web client applications of our document management system, and I'm about to place the tomcat right behind this apache, as well. Should work this way, shouldn't it?
