Friendly URLs with Tomcat

I want to be able to have URLs going to servlets like http://host/Servlet/1 rather than http://host/Servlet?ID=1

Any suggestions for how this can be accomplished? Preferably with multiple levels too, so I could do something like http://host/Servlet/1/Files

Thanks

The HttpServletRequest exposes a method, getPathInfo(), which gives you information about the request URL after the servlet path itself. You could map your servlet to /Servlet/* and then get the ID with getPathInfo().

You can do this using Filter. Dispatch incoming URL by some rules and redirect to dispatched URL.

One way to solve this could be to have your controller-servlet in front to dispatch to correct servlet in behind depending on the request URI from getRequestURI on the HttpServletRequest.

If you don't have a "must do using Tomcat alone" requirement, I suggest you set up an Apache layer in front of Tomcat where you can have such and other complex URL Rewrites set up.
