Please be aware of the difference between *redirect* and *forward* ( http://www.javapractices.com/Topic181.cjp ). With the java UrlRewriteFilter package ( http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ ) you can only do a *redirect* between different contexts. To do a transparently forwarding you need a web server like Apache or IIS. But maybe you can define a (servlet) mapping for your clients in your web.xml.
