Hi, There is a lesser-known but very good rewrite project written as a j2ee filter available at
http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ Ready for use with web apps using context listeners to load rules and so fourth. I won't pretend to know about performance implications or why it's better to achieve rewrite at the server core, but I imagine handling this at first opportunity rather than having a web application handle it may be more optimal.
