ugly urls
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?

What about creating "pretty URLs" in the first place?
"Choose URIs wisely"
http://www.w3.org/TR/chips/#gl1
"URL as UI"

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"

http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/
Does the same for Tomcat.
No need for Apache

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