This statement is not correct.  See class
org.apache.tomcat.core.HttpServletResponseFacade.java in the Tomcat 3.1 release,
where URL rewriting support is implemented in the encodeRedirectURL() and
encodeURL() methods.

There are issues with getting URL rewriting to work when you are using
Tomcat+Apache, because Apache does not correctly recognize the path parameter that
is used to pass the session ID.  The workaround is to use Apache's "mod_rewrite"
module.  See the FAQ-O-MATIC at <http://jakarta.apache.org> and do a search for
"url rewriting".
