Too lazy to comment on that, sorry. >>>Note, that there is already one such well-known library, >>>http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ > > UrlRewriteFilter uses request forwarding and include. It does not (and > can not) use request wrapping. http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/source/browse/trunk/src/java/org/tuckey/web/filters/urlrewrite/UrlRewriteWrappedRequest.java > Just a note, UrlRewriteFilter can not be used with Struts 2.1, because > Struts 2.1 uses servlet filters as controllers and we can not get > request dispatcher for filters. Filters can be called for forwarded and included requests, if you map them in certain way (something like <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>). See the Servlet spec for details.
