I've setup a reverse proxy between an Apache front-end and multiple
Tomcat backends. The below block of code includes the ProxyHTMLURLMap param so that the HTML can be rewritten to remove the
Tomcat context path. With this setup in place, after logging into my application, an initial JSESSIONID is set properly, but when navigating to any other page, this JSESSIONID is lost and another one is set by the application.
I should mention that the initial login directs to a URL that includes the current context path (i.e. https://app.domain.com/context/home), but when navigating to another page, that context path is not present in the URL (i.e. https://app.domain.com/page2).

Has anyone ever run into a similar situation?
