We had the same problem while deploying our application running apache/tomcat.
As I understand it, during the first transaction of any session, there are no cookies to maintain session information, so tomcat appends the session ID in the URL. The problem then is apache does not recognise session IDs; the dynamic components which apache normally sends off to tomcat work fine, but normal images and static html which apache normally serves will result in errors. Our solution was to strip off the session ID off static content so that apache can still serve them; we did this by RewriteRule (.*[gif|jpg|html])\;jsessionid.*$ $1 [R] There might be a better way to do this as that rule will mean a "double hit" on apache for every static request containing a session ID - first hit "GET /index.html;jsessionid=1E84A042615444560A5E25DF8D277267" which is rewritten to "GET /index.html" The other solution below means that tomcat will also be made to serve static content which have the session ID attached (more work for your app server or more work for your webserver, assuming you have a multi tiered environment).
