Hi Reynir,
I looked into this quite deeply, it seems like you can't get a handle on the
url requested (to change) unless
you go very deep into Tomcat's internals. As it happens I'm testing a
modified mod_webapp which
appears to work quite nicely letting you use Apache's rewrite mechanism
(which mod_webapp normally ignores completely).
I should have finished my tests by this evening is you want to give it a
try.
Regards,
James Williamson
