Re: ugly urls

[Mark Leone]

Don't know if this will help you or not, but Web Services Description 
Language (WSDL) provides a standard way to create URLs that encode 
parameters passed to web apps. If you need to publish your web app URLs 
or make them available to lots of people, or if clients want to 
programmatically ingest your published URLs, WSDL can be a convenient 
mechanism. Most people think of the SOAP bindings that describe web 
services when they think of WSDL, but it also provides HTTP bindings for 
exposing web apps. Go to http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_http and see Section 
4. Excerpt below.

   4. HTTP GET & POST Binding
WSDL includes a binding for HTTP 1.1's GET and POST verbs in order to 
describe the interaction between a Web Browser and a web site. This 
allows applications other than Web Browsers to interact with the site. 
The following protocol specific information may be specified:

   * An indication that a binding uses HTTP GET or POST
   * An address for the port
   * A relative address for each operation (relative to the base
     address defined by the port)
     4.1 HTTP GET/POST Examples
The following example shows three ports that are bound differently for a 
given port type.

If the values being passed are part1=1, part2=2, part3=3, the request 
format would be as follows for each port:

port1: GET, URL="http://example.com/o1/A1B2/3";
port2: GET, URL="http://example.com/o1?p1=1&p2=2&p3=3
port3: POST, URL="http://example.com/o1";, PAYLOAD="p1=1&p2=2&p3=3"

Does the same for Tomcat.
No need for Apache

Hi everyone
I wanted to see if in JSP or Tomcat there was an easy way to transform
     

ugly
 

urls into pretty urls.  So taking category.jsp?catid=12&type=2 and
     

changing
 

it to category/catid/12/type/2?
     

Best way would be to put Apache (Webserver) in front of tomcat and
then use mod_rewrite rules.
