Tomcat, as a servlet/jsp container, has knowledge of j_security_check
itself.
Your FORM-based authentication may passing thrugh the HTTP server, i.e.,
apache, and the problem behind of your problem may caused by the HTTP
server which does not know how to forward from the HTTP server to Tomcat,
i.e., forwarding mechanism for Servlet/JSP handling.
Does it make sense to you?
