mod_rewrite + tomcat

[Brendan O'Bra]

Sorry if this has already appeared in the past...   Has anyone had any luck getting tomcat (any version) to work behind an apache 1.3.12mod_rewrite box?  Tomcat seems to ignore the rewritten URL,return a path relatice to the box that it is running on, making it hard for clients on the other side of the rewrite/firewall box to POST back to the tomcat box.  Thanks! >>Brendan
