URL rewriting

[Chris Stephens <ch...@dingoblue.com.au>]

Hi folks,

Apologies if this is a newbie question but I've looked around a fair bit 
(inc. the archives of this list) and can't find an answer.

I want my users to enter in URLs like 
http://www.domain.com/products/zips and for this URL to be a"front" for 
a completely unrelated URL (e.g. /webappname/do/showall?id=zips [I'm 
using Struts btw for my current project but I'd like to achieve the 
rewrite outside of Struts]).

Where is the best place to do this URL rewriting? It needs to be a 
"forward" rather than a "redirect" (I don't want the actual URL showing 
in the browser).

Should I use 2.3 filters? Or is there a better way? Is there something 
already written to do this?

TIA,

Chris

You can use mod_rewrite and mod_proxy to do just this (at least if you 
are using apache).  See http://www.engelschall.com/pw/apache/rewriteguide/
