look about the Valves...

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/valve.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache
/catalina/Valve.html

one limitation in using Valves
is that one cannot change the content of a request
is it has already been used by a previous valve...

this mean that probably you will have to stack
your URL rewriting valve before (over) the 
usual valves which map URL to servlets...

I've never uses valves myself but it looks like
NTKernel Device Drivers and should be very flexible.
