hiding redirects

["Ross L. Wayland" <rl...@virginia.edu>]

Hi,

I have a servlet that functions as a frontend to a digital object 
repository. Requests to the servlet are in the form of encoded URLs that 
pass the necessary repository query arguments as parameters. Once the 
query has been resolved by the servlet, the URL obtained from the 
repository is then redirected back to the browser  using sendRedirect(). 
This all works nicely, but I would like for the URL that gets displayed 
in the browser Location Window to be that of the initial URL request and 
not the redirected URL obtained from the repository. i.e.,  I would like 
to "hide" the redirected URL so the URL that gets displayed/bookmarked 
is the initial URL request.

Does anyone know if something like this is possible and if so, how it 
might be accomplished? Can this be accomplished soley within the servlet 
API or will it require writing a special module for apache to handle 
this type of redirect.

I'm running tomcat 3.2.3 w/ mod_jk and  apache 1.3.22 .

Thanks in advance for any pointers you may have...

Ross
