 am trying to configure mod_jk and it works to a point, that is up

 way to make mod_jk fix this redirected url so that is gets pointed

 Any help greatly appreciated Thanks troy

Unfortunately the answer is: mod_jk uses the AJP13 protocol, which is a
good way to fix this. More precisely: AJP13 ensures, that the web
container provides the Apache port, protocol and server name to the
webapp, if it asks about this data to produce a self referring URL.

If you use http between Apache and Tomcat instead, you need to set
additional attributes on the Tomcat connector to fix the data.

So I would say your webapp is broken, in that it asumes standard data
instead of using the servlet API to ask the container for the needed
data. Maybe there's a config item for your webapp.

Nevertheless you can play tricks, because the redirects are done using a
response header called Location, which you can rewrite using mod_headers.

Have a look at

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/proxy.html

and search for Location, but do also read the rest of the page.
