You're going to want to do some URL rewriting, probably. I mean, you could achieve that via other means (maybe add a servlet mapping & missing template handler for /page1.cfm*, for example-- though that wouldn't be feasible for page2, page3, etc.- even /page* would be pretty inflexible), but best is going to be rewriting.
For a machine with a heavy load, you'll probably want to use apache httpd or nginx, but there's a pure java solution called URLRewriteFilter that works quite well in Tomcat, albeit with more overhead (it's more powerful, too). :Den -- Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
