Hi again, I agree and the url-rewrite module I've installed is acting like a filter and doing the job well.
My problem is actually more of a regexp problem. In my filter I must specify a url-pattern that should be true if the filter should be invoked. I do not want it invoked on all url:s but only on those urls which does not have ".action" in it. Anyone know how to write that regexp?

With TC 4.1.x, it still happens before the Filters get called, but it is still possible to use a (Tomcat-specific) Valve to do the rewrite. (N.B. Valves get called after the Mapper in TC 5.x, so this won't help you there :). Overall (regardless of what you use to implement re-writing), I'd go with Yoav's suggestion of using a Filter that calls rd.forward on the re-written URI. IMHO, you will have a lot more hair at the end of it ;-). "Mattias Bogeblad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi and thanx for the suggestion but I want to try the rewrite module first as that offers all flexibility I need. The package I named is a pure java implementation of Apache mod-rewrite so I thought I benefit from it if possible. Anyone else who can contribute?

Map the filter /* and code your redirection rules in java. Actually, you might want to look at the balancer webapp (tomcat 5) which has a StringMatchRule that you can use.
