Url Rewriting in Tomcat4.0

[Jiger Java <ji...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
    Is is possible to do url rewriting  in Tomcat. Something such that when 
a request like

http://www.server.com/reseller comes in then the server will
execute/get/map/etc etc & the final url will become as
http://server.com/servlet/LoginServlet?role=reseller
which is then the named servlet be executed. The <servlet-mapping> allows 
only Servlet Class file name & alias but not alias with params. Can we do so 
in Tomcat 4.0.

Thanks & Awaiting your replies,
Jiger

  If you are running tomcat 4 with the apache web server then you could 
perhaps do this through mod_rewrite.  I don't think it is possible through 
Tomcat4 directly unless you want to write a servlet that responds to 
http://www.server.com/reseller by redirecting to the url you want? ;)
