Looking forward to it.

Well, the good news is that there's a chance it'll get done. Sometimes
3rd-party vendors will just say "sorry, we simply don't support that
configuration; use a supported configuration" which is a lousy answer IMO.
You can also fix the application as you go; you don't have to do 100%
of it all at once... nobody has noticed before, so nobody will notice
if you do 10% of it and then sit on it for a while.
There's no better time to start fixing your URLs than now, so every
time you have to edit a HTML template, just fix the URLs in that file.
Here's the recipe you want:
Change
<a href="/foo/bar">...</a>
to
<a href="<%= request.getContextPath() +
response.encodeURL("/foo/bar") %>">...</a>
Better yet, use JSTL:
<a href="<c:url value="/foo/bar"/>">...</a>
Then you don't need to see all that nasty Java stuff.
Remember you also want to fix <img>, <script>, <link>, <base>...
everything that can have a URL.
