Thanks Rainer, this makes sense.

Although I am not responsible for the front end, I seem to recall we
use mod_proxy for the reverse proxy. We have front end Apache web
servers that listen for requests externally, internally I can access
Tomcat directly. mod_rewrite is used to make our applications on
Tomcat and Apache appear as one.
I use a Java Servlet on Tomcat 5.5.20 with JDK 6.02 ... What I am
curious to know is if the cookie gets set correctly with this
configuration? could the proxy be interfering with normal Tomcat
operation?
I would not expect Tomcat to behave differently in itself. But yes,
the reverse proxy could e.g. filter the cookies or mjore likely, the
cookies need some sort of rewriting in order to fit to the URL the
client is using to connect to the reverse proxy.
You need to involve your frontend people, it's very likely the
solution will be found in their configuration. If they use AJP13 to
connect to Tomcat, most (all) of the translation should be done
automatically. If they use HTTP to connect to your Tomcat, some
translations have to be done inside Apache httpd. This will be easier
with Apache 2.2, than with 2.0.
There are separate discussion lists for Apache httpd.
One thing that might help, depending on what the frontend people do
exactly: there are proxyName, proxyPort and scheme attributes for the
Connector elements in server.xml:
