RE: Problems with Tomcat behind a firewall
Howler,
Firstly, your website is accessible from outside.
Secondly, I suspect it's the dreaded 'trailing slash' problem.

Thanks again Keng for the lead. I'm not real familiar with Apache, but I
will do some digging and who knows, maybe I'll learn something! ;)

It's more of a configuration rather than a 'problem'. You may want to try
the RewriteRule directive within apache.
