No, I think the base tag the base tag is fine.

No, it gives back the server name and port that the
web container tells it is running at. The web container must know
about the proxy and then tell the application the
server name and port of the proxy, not of the web container.

Two more serious reasons:
1) Deployment information should not be burned into the JSPs.
2) The application can be accessible through different ports
on different servers, Each time the the result of the base tag
must be different, one port there would not help.
3) It simply works fine as it is.
I have a tomcat (servera) behind a proxy (serverb) and a
<db:base/>
on A JSP. If I access the page directly via a http connector, I get
<base href="http://servera:8090/...";>
If I access the same page using the apache proxy, I get
<base href="http://serverb/...";>
So the current concept seems to be ok and working, it must be something else,
a bug within tomcat or apache, config problem, don't know.
But the base tag is not responsible.
