Httpd 2.2.17
Tomcat 6.0.29
Sun JDK 1.6.0_22
Spring Framework (3.0.2 I think)
All on Windows

The Dev team is creating a new app that we are planning to deploy using httpd 
as a load-balancer to two Tomcats on separate servers.  Httpd is configured to 
serve static files - graphics, css, etc. - with everything else being sent to 
the Tomcat servers over AJP.  The Tomcat app has one jsp file setup as the 
welcome-file, which just does a redirect to host/app/login, which is an 
internal action that generates the real login screen.  All other parts of the 
app are buried in the WEB-INF/classes structure (as far as I can tell).

We are currently testing the setup, and if you go to 
http://prtltest.polydyne.com, everything seems to work just fine.  The browser 
gets redirected to http://prtltest.polydyne.com/Portal/login and the screen 
looks fine.  The problem is if you go directly to the login page, bypassing the 
welcome-file redirect, then you don't get the static files.  If you refresh the 
page, everything shows up again.

Looking at the source of the login page, it appears that all the static links 
have the jsessionid appended to them on the first load, but not on subsequent 
loads.  I assume this is because Tomcat hasn't determined cookie support yet 
when it generates the page the first time, but does know about it on the 
refresh.  My question is, is there something the Dev team should be doing 
before generating the login page, or generating the static links, or is there a 
configuration setting I'm missing in the httpd.conf file?  Or perhaps in the 
web.xml?

The httpd.conf file is pretty stock, with the following added for the 
load-balancer configuration:

<Location /balancer-manager>
  SetHandler balancer-manager

  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 10.1.1 127.0.0.1
</Location>

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
                BalancerMember ajp://prtltest01:8009/Portal route=tomcat1 
loadfactor=50
                BalancerMember ajp://prtltest02:8009/Portal route=tomcat2 
loadfactor=50
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /Portal/static !
ProxyPass /Portal balancer://mycluster stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid 
scolonpathdelim=On
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid 
scolonpathdelim=On
