Have not tried it with Apache/mod_jk in front - just with Tomcat and accessing it as http://computername:8080/stars/HomePage.do .
Not sure of your drift. Are you just looking for another date point (that's good) - or is there some implication as to how user-agent headers work with Tomcat standalone?
