I assume you've looked through all the elements available to you in web.xml. (I can't think of any that might help, but I'm no authority!) One (reasonably simple) solution would be to write yourself a servlet that performs the mapping for you. Assuming the root of the path remains constant for your requests like this, map that to the servlet. The servlet then has to examine the final part of the URL, lookup against your mapping-list (which you should really load up from an XML file during class-load, but you *could* hard code it), and then either redirect or forward to your required resource. (Redirect involves an extra round-trip and will mean that the user sees a URL that ends with the real filename; forwarding will leave the "original" URL in place.)
