If only tomcat had the mod_rewrite capabilities that apache does, and strong perl and php performance, I would be glad to trash mod_jk (thus getting rid of apache as well).
Are there any good rewrite-like capabilities available for URL matching / rewriting that someone could share? I'm sure a filter could be made to do the work that I need... but I also would need to be able to have multiple virtual hosts use the same code base, without having actually separate apps.
I have cobrands / private labels of my site with just one tomcat app running. So I have like 50 apache virtual hosts that really just write additional data to the query string using mod_rewrite. It works pretty spiffy, but it isn't elegant. My java application code partially relies on either the hostname (in the case that I didn't use mod_rewrite) or the query string that was passed in from mod_rewrite for a key to what the code should do within just one code base from just one running tomcat app.
Also, I definitely don't want to be changing the configuration whenever I have a new partner that needs another cobranded version of the webapp (meaning I would need to give them their own hostname or subdomain... Can tomcat be setup to allow a VirtualHost to accept multiple domain names?
Ideas on how to get rid of the mod_rewrite portion using a tomcat filter or something?
