Thanks for your reply Chuck.
It looks like you can do what I'm suggesting, but it's pretty complex. I'm also
wondering why this isn't part of Tomcat proper. It would seem to be a very
useful tool to include.
An ALv2 licensed type of filter that does things like the URLRewrite Filter.
Another thing too is that this filter seems to do a huge superset of what
I'm actually looking for. I'm really just looking for something simple, with a
limited config, something like:
<url path="/fictionbooks"
origPath="/books">
<param name="category" value="fiction"/>
<param name="something else" value="${env.SOMEPROPERTY}"/>
</url>
....
I might just write a plugin that does that and contribute it back to the
Apache Tomcat community. Would folks here find that useful?
Cheers,
Chris
