> Google does NOT index any servlet, framework class, or cgi file. I haven't reviewed your facts for accuracy, so take this with a grain of salt. But *IF* the world according to Google is as you say it is, and I needed to use some funky extension, I would consider using mod_rewrite to rewrite request URLs, and a filter to rewrite URLs in the response data stream. This is similar to an issue recently raised in a thread "static url routing". In your case, the browser might see http://host/mypath/mdlx/page.html and you would want tomcat to see /mypath/page.mdlx. Actually, I would always rewrite request URLs, but only rewrite the response data stream for a search engine like Google. Waste of cycles otherwise, and I'd want to eliminate the rewrite when search engines are more RESTful. > Tomcat standalone automatically redirects (http 302) to [welcome file] I assume that you mean '/' -- 302 --> '/index.jsp', as in your example of "http://www.xyz.com [goes to] http://www.xyz.com/index.html";? IIRC, you can eliminate the round trip to the browser by rewriting the URL, e.g., RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1/index.jsp -- or whatever you want to use. --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
