That way you can intercept any URL you like and either rewrite, or redirect. It doesn't matter if your URL reads /something/something/default.asp or not, if you know how to handle that url from your filter (usually done by reading config from file or database). If you are using mod_jk then you might have to change your mapping in to tomcat. I've been implementing this by using filters for a long time, never had problems with it. hope it helps - -reynir Carl Olivier wrote: > Greetings. > > I have a questions regarding Filter servlets.
