You can write a Servlet filter to examine the incoming hostname and forward the request with the username prefix. In fact - you might need to write it : UrlRewriteFilter - http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ might do it for you.

In Tomcat and for that kind of thing, the UrlRewriteFilter is to my knowledge the most flexible tool to do this.

You can also do this at the level of the front-end Apache if you already have one anyway. Basically the UrlRewriteFilter was originally inspired by what one can do with the Apache httpd mod_rewrite module.

If you already do some selective mapping at the Apache level (for example to have static content delivered by Apache and dynamic content by Tomcat), then I would think that it would be more logical to do this at the level of Apache also, and keep your Tomcat configuration simple.
