I used Apache's mod_rewrite and some rewriting rules, like this:
# This 'works' except that cookies are set by tomcat under /v31 (JSESSIONID)
NameVirtualHost www.mysite.test:80
<VirtualHost www.mysite.test:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /usr/local/mysite/v31
ServerName www.mysite.test
ErrorLog logs/www.mysite.test-error_log
CustomLog logs/www.mysite.test-access_log commonWithTime
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteRule ^/$ /index.jsp
RewriteRule ^/(.*).jsp /v31/$1.jsp
[L,PT]
RewriteRule ^/servlet/(.*) /v31/servlet/$1
[L,PT]
RewriteRule ^/images/(.*) /v31/images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/style/(.*) /v31/style/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/tag30/(.*) /v31/tag30/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/pdf/(.*) /v31/pdf/$1 [L]
JkMount /servlet/* wlb
JkMount /*.jsp wlb
</VirtualHost>
But the browser sees "/" as the context, not /v31, and the cookie belongs to
/v31 and thus the browser doesn't send it on requests 2-n, and therefore you
really don't have sesion tracking. Kind of useless ;-)

explain how you set up the url rewriting thing?
