Right, is the url at same domain you can use emptySessionPath at your connector configuration.

<Connector emptysessionPath="true" ... />

Docs say:

set to true, all paths for session cookies will be set to /. This can be useful for portlet specification implementations, but will greatly affect performance if many applications are accessed on a given server by the client. If not specified, this attribute is set to false.

It's not your rewrite rule that is dropping your cookie. It's the fact
that you are changing the path of the URI.

RewriteRule ^/url1$ /MyApp/MyServlet     [PT]

I'm guessing that your webapp emits a cookie with the path of "/ MyApp". If your app also emits URLs of the form http://whatever/url1/ MyServlet,
then the browser will not send the cookie along with the request
(because the cookie belongs to /MyApp, not /url1).

You can probably verify this using a packet sniffer or a much more
convenient tool like LiveHttpHeaders for Mozilla Firefox or perhaps a
plug-in for MSIE or another browser.

How do i go about passing the cookie to the servlet using RewriteRule ?

You will need to do one of several things:

1. Stop using this other URL.
2. Move that URL-to-be-re-written inside the URL space of your
   webapp (i.e. change /url1 to /MyApp/url1).
3. Modify your cookie configuration such that the path will be set
   to "/" instead of "/MyApp" (I think single-sign-op will do this,
   but there are probably other ways, too).
4. Use javascript to mutate the cookie and send (another copy) to
the browser with the path of "/url1" (you're already using javascript
   in your onsubmit event handler, so this should always work).

I highly recommend #2. It's pretty easy, and you don't have to resort to
any hacks in your application to make it work (other than the obvious
hack of using mod_rewrite in the first place).
