Yes - its the old adapter between tomcat and apache. I wasn't sure whether
to point you at tomcat-apache-howto for those reasons. The doco goes into it
in mod_jk at the start (briefly). Thats all I know (o:

Yes. (o: The problem is a client side issue in that without an explicit
BASE HREF tag at the start of your html the browser will try and resolve all
references (links as well as images) relative to the current path. If the
current path is /admin/AdminServlet then an image ../images/foo.jpg should
look (in apache) for /images/foo.jpg. However as you change the request
path, this will affect the resolving of references. Your options are:
1. base href tag (html spec)
2. absolute paths (my preference)
3. make it work for the one you're going to use and not worry about the
other.
I prefer absolute paths because when you break a page up into components
(navbars being a typical example) then you can use them anywhere on your
site. Having said that, its not really a tomcat question so I'll stop there
