There have been a couple of questions about URL rewriting in the forums. It is an important topic when you want a web crawler to index your dynamic site as web crawlers normally will not index content on a website that looks like it is generated dynamically.
The technical note provides an example of one way to fool a web crawler into thinking a site has static content. The example shows how Apache 2.0 can be used to transform a "static looking" URL back into a URL containing a query that is forwarded to Tomcat or Jetty. I hope it makes sense and is of use.
