Ah, I got it now. Thanks, David. Yes, the a-b-c-d points are OK then.
As a trouble-shoot action, I actually did an install-and-test "binary search" among the intermediate tomcat-versions to pinpoint exactly which version breaks our app. Turns out, up to 7.0.47 it still works OK. (7.0.48 and 7.0.49 do not exist in the tomcat archive) And from 7.0.50 it breaks. So apparently, between 47 and 50 some change occurred that breaks our login....
