Great to see the good people of Peakhour working on a Saturday ;)
I think all you need to do is map a servlet to /admin or /site and then that
servlet picks up requests and forwards them using the end part of the URL?
Look at <servlet-mapping> tag in
http://www.orionserver.com/docs/web.xml.html and at the various request
properties. Sounds like you just need :
String path =
request.getRequestURI().substring(request.getRequestURI().indexOf("/"));
Cheers,
Mike
