custom 404 error behaviour - obtaining the url requested

[Tref Gare <Tr...@areeba.com.au>]

Hi all,
 
I'm sure I've seen this discussed before so apologies for repeating but I can't manage to find it in the archives nor via googling.
 
Can anyone enlighten me on the behaviour of tomcat with 404 redirection?
 
We're running TC4.1.12 connected to apache 2.0.43 via mod_jk.  Both apache and Tomcat are configured to pass any 404 errors through to error/404.jsp where we want to implement a quasi intelligent lookup system which will attempt to either match pages for common mispellings or to known url changes.
 
However I believe TC uses redirection for its custom error pages and as such doesn't seem to have any memory of what the actual url requested was.
 
Any assistance as always will guarantee a place in my virtual christmas card list.
 
Thanks 
 
Tref Gare
