But more importantly, TC 5.5.x will do a forward to the login page, so it 
has to be served by Tomcat.

This should work, but you need to configure it so that it intercepts 
forwards as well as top-level requests.

Actually, this is a little hack-y too.  Shibboleth would need to redirect to 
j_security_check if the app ever POSTs to a restricted page in order to 
replay the request with the original request body.
