Hi Thanks for that, it was exactly what was happening!
Moving the context for the bodypainting WAR file to root, and changing the proxy pass to map http://www.bodypainting.co.uk/ to http://localhost:8000/ has fixed the problem, and my session tracking now works as expected. I now need to work out a way of having more than one webapp using Apache virtual hosting where two or more domains both get mapped to / under Tomcat and get different webapps delivered. I'm running the Tomcat 4.0.3 which comes bundled with JBoss 3.0.0, so will probably have quite a challenge! Thanks for your help.
