Why not tell the client that this SEO "optimization" is going to cost them a whole bunch of money to actually perform? You may just have to suck it up and do the painful work of either mapping everything or re-jiggering everything to read REST-looking URLs instead of ones with complex query strings. > I know there are solutions.

Is there any way to do Apache > mod_rewrite with a java application? There is a url-rewrite tool, but it's filter-based and will have the same shortcomings of your own solutions up till this point. The dynamic database-related mappings are going to kill you, here. Occasionally, people ask about using Tomcat as an httpd proxy, the the response has always been "other tools do it quite well, so Tomcat doesn't have to" and the issue generally drops. On-the-fly programmable rewrites aren't something I'm aware of. You might find that mod_proxy_http can be configured to follow (certain) redirects internally, so you can have your redirection-logic in your Tomcat-based webapp, but the client never actually sees the redirect. That would be very convenient. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk76HuwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCwKgCeNLen0L4WRKmO3JYZpcX2s+Lm mR0AnR+WXGLgBnf4naOWZhhf2yRsm8Zd =482h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
