Of course. That's kind of what mod_rewrite was written to do... rewrite
URLs.

Yuck. Good luck. I think this design is going to make it very difficult
to manage and maintain. If you can't migrate systems, can you migrate
APIs? If you use SOA, you can just re-implement one service and then
combine using any appropriate technology (e.g. XSLT) instead of having
to combine HTML from bits and pieces.

It depends upon the requirements.

I would use a Filter over a Valve any day unless there is a real reason
to dig-into the Tomcat internal classes.

If you want your code to be able to modify/wrap the request and deliver
it somewhere else, then use a Filter. If the code is really making all
the decisions and generating content (or, in fact, merging content from
other sources), then a Servlet is more appropriate IMO.
