Greetings Mike:
Thanks for your input. I was able to use the mod_rewrite module to swithc
between the different servlet contexts within the httpd.conf file. I don't
know if this will work when you are using mod_jk.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myhost.localhost
DocumentRoot /usr/local/tomcat/myhost/myhost
Options Indexes
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://myhost.localhost:8082/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myhost.localhost:8082/
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://myhost.localhost:8082/$1 [P,L]
</VirtualHost>

sessionis null
Do you have any mappings for your servlet in a web.xml?
I have always mapped my servlets in my web.xml, then made a JkMount the
same as that mapping
i.e.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>admincontrol</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.bla.servlet.AdminServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>admincontrol</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/admincontrol/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
then in httpd.conf
JkMount /*.jsp local
JkMount /webappname/* local
JkMount /admincontrol/* local
then when accessing through these mappings, the session is the same session
The problem is, if you don't have some kind of mapping in apache to
match a webapp class in tomcat
apache will access the jsp though a session at "/"
and the webapp servlet at /servlet or whatever so you have 2 different
sessions
Doing it the way I described, then accessing through the
/webappname/main.jsp where the action of the form is
/webappname/admincontrol insures using the same session.
Now, there may be better ways of doing this as the support persons at
tomcat would know better than me, but this works for me.
The thing is (I believe this to be true) that if you don't create the
correct mappings for both servers, you can get 2 different sessions as
you have 2 different servers. After all, a session is a connection
between a client and a server.
