John, could you explain your approach in several words? We have to do forwards within our portal too.

The question was actually asking for a method of doing an internal 'forward' (dispatcher.forward()), rather than a 'redirect' (response.sendRedirect() or html refresh). This means one less server trip rather than one more. It also means that whenever the url appears on other web pages it contributes to your home page's search engine page rank. I have implemented this as a Filter which works well and is portable.
