I talked to someone once who did this by creating a dynamic 404 error page (assuming for whatever reason you can't use mod_rewrite). If you are familiar with an MVC design pattern, you could make your 404 error page your main application controller that directs the traffic. The problem with this (besides being a major hack) is your web logs will be all screwy. But as others have said, there are plenty of ways to do this. mod_rewrite++ Andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Emily Lynema > Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 12:22 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [CODE4LIB] implementing cool uris in java > > I'm looking around for tools to implement cool uris in java.
