You could front Tomcat with Apache, then use Apache mod_rewrite plus mod_proxy_html to modify the URLs. We did something close to that at OhioLINK:

It isn't an exact match for what you'd like to do, but I think it is close enough...

I'm looking around for tools to implement cool uris in java. I've been studying the restlet framework tonight, and while it sounds cool, I think it would also require a complete re-write of an application that is currently based on the Servlet API. And, of course, I'm working under a time crunch.

Is there anything out there to assist me in working with cool uris besides just using regular expressions when parsing URLs?

For example, I'd like to create URLs like:

http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record/123456

instead of:

http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record?id=1234565
