Here's a possibility:
Write the quick and dirty blog jsp, name it blog.html, and then add this
to your web.xml file:
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejsp/servlet-name
url-patternblog.html/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
The idea is to specifically map blog.html to the jsp servlet for jsp
You can also try redirect at the Apache httpd layer (I assume Tomcat is
hidden behind httpd), redirecting blog.html to the 1-liner JSP file you
mentioned.

I'd write a simple Filter that gets the current blog location from a
properties file -- e.g.
No, not behind httpd, but thanks.

Hassan,
Thanks, this seems like it might be extensible to more than one file
as well.
I'm new to Servlet programming (though experienced in java), so I
guess I'll hit the docs to see how to do this, unless you have a code
snippet handy--thanks.

David,
I'm new to programming Servlets/JSP, I didn't realize a servlet-
mapping could just specify a url-pattern an not specify a servlet
class, nor do I understand exactly what this example mapping does (and
if it does it without other side-effects).
Do you mean to use this in

servlet-mapping ... /servlet-mapping takes the name of a servlet as
defined by the servlet.../servlet element, not the servlet's class.
That's what the servlet ... /servlet element is for. In this case,
the jsp servlet is already defined in the global web.xml file found at
conf/web.xml right
Oh and by the way ... Hassan's idea is really good as well. For that,
you just need to write a class that implements the javax.servlet.Filter
interface and define the servlet in your web.xml file.
The servlet spec is an excellent resource for this kind of stuff:
Thanks to both of you. I'll give it a try.

David,
The URL I want to see work is http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blog.html
(currently running on Apache with a symlink currently pointing to
2008-03-blog.html).
I wrote blog.jsp which includes the current blog file:
%@ include file=2008-03-blog.html %
That works great for:
David/Hassan,
I've written a filter since I couldn't get the servlet-mapping
approach to work.
This is what I've got. It needs generalization, but it does the job.
My question is this: what is the right way to forward the request?
The way I'm doing it bypasses the rest of the filter

Chuck,
Thanks, but perhaps I don't understand:
- blog.html is under /diglloyd eg at http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blog.html
eg not at the top level of the web app.
Wouldn't /blog.html refer to http://diglloyd.com/blog.html ? That
would be wrong...
