You keep repeating this over and over as if it's some sort of Absolute
Truth.  It's not.  As long as you require reauthentication whenever you
make the transition to the secure (https) portions of your webapp, there
is nothing magically insecure about sending your users back to plain old
http when they're navigating the boring parts.

It's not rocket science, and people build webapps that do this all the
time.  Just not with Tomcat.
