Oh and by the way ... Hassan's idea is really good as well. For that,
you just need to write a class that implements the javax.servlet.Filter
interface and define the servlet in your web.xml file.
The servlet spec is an excellent resource for this kind of stuff:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr154/index.html
It has docs for the classes/interfaces in javax.servlet as well as docs
on what's valid in the web.xml file.

David,
I'm new to programming Servlets/JSP, I didn't realize a <servlet-
mapping> could just specify a <url-pattern> an not specify a servlet
class, nor do I understand exactly what this example mapping does
(and if it does it without other side-effects).
Do you mean to use this in conjunction with a "blog.jsp" which would
then include blog.html?

Here's a possibility:
Write the quick and dirty blog jsp, name it blog.html, and then add
this to your web.xml file:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>blog.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The idea is to specifically map blog.html to the jsp servlet for jsp
processing. I haven't tried it, but it seems like it should work.

I'm converting from an Apache http system.
Thousands of my users have bookmarked

With Apache, I symlinked blog.html to the current month's blog.
Now with Tomcat, I see warnings that enabling symlinks is a security
risk.
What is the best way to make blog.html => 2008-03-blog.html ? (eg if
March 2008 is the current blog)
I realize that I can write a one-line blog.jsp which includes the
current month's blog. But that won't help users that bookmarked
blog.html.
An http redirect works, but it seems the google search engine is not
enamored of redirects; I don't want to hurt my search ranking.
