if i understood correctly, you already create urls like http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record?id=1234565. since cool urls are the ones that don't change, you will still have to support these. so i'd think an easy way to support the even cooler http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record/123456 would be to use something like apache's mod_rewrite (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html) assuming you use apache in front of whatever serves your java code. regards, robert On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 6:22 AM, Emily Lynema <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I'm looking around for tools to implement cool uris in java.
