This is what I thought at first, but it not. The way I understand it is
that the server sets this value in the header information. The client
browser reads this value in and when you click on a link the browser sends
this in the request header. At least that's how I understand it so far. I'm
getting ready to test it now. I thought this would be something the browser
would set it's self, but I guess not. If you want I can send you the
results of what I find.
Thank You,

The "Referer" header is set by the client, not the server. Tomcat has
nothing to do with (and no control over) what your client browser does.
