Hey Tim,
Thanks for the great response. At least I know that I'm not missing
something really obvious.
I wonder if we could configure Tomcat to write the cookie without the
context?
Or if there is some other mechanism in httpd.conf that we could use to
control how the cookie gets set...
I find it hard to believe that alot of people have not run into this
issue yet. Maybe everyone's still using mod_jk and have not migrated to
mod_proxy_ajp yet...

Yes. I posted a similar question not long ago. I wanted to know how to
preserve the session under exactly this case (my specific need was to have a
version in the Tomcat path, but hide that context / version from the user.)
I can tell you why it's NOT preserving it. Tomcat sets the cookie
JSESSIONID for host=www.website.com, path /tomcatWebappName/someServlet.
The browser sees the cookie for that path on the response (check - it is
set). You then ask for /someServlet and there is no cookie with that path
(the hosts match, of course) and so the browser does not send the cookie
along. No cookie (JSESSIONID), no session.

Subject: mod_rewrite losing session
Hi all,
I am having a problem when using mod_rewrite to hide the Tomcat
webapp/context name, where it spawns a new session with each request.
I am using apache2.2 and mod_proxy_ajp to dispatch the request and
tomcat 5.5.9
So if I try to send this URL: http://www.website.com/someServlet
to
http://www.website.com/tomcatWebappName/someServlet
with mod_rewrite, it's a new session with every request.
Any ideas?
thanks
pete
