You don't need to write dozens of servlets, you can write just one if you
wish (of course you can also write more than one) and create aliases for
it. In my system I would have to change the webserver configuration to do
that, I don't kwnow another way. It is easy to get the url that user typed
in the servlet, so you are not going to have the problem to know if the user
wants www.store.com/beerbike or www.store.com/book.
I hope that helps you.
