Weblogic 11g URL Rewrite

I have a client running a WebLogic 11g install on a Windows Server machine who wishes to implement Apache-style mod_rewrite-like functionality to translate requests for http://easyurl.com to http://super.complicated.com/with/this/junk?here=and_more. I have scoured the Internet for advice, but all I can find are other people who are asking the same question and not getting any answer. Assuming that installing 3rd-party apps is not an option, how do I implement this in WebLogic?

Edit: Now that I think about it, this question probably belongs on Server Fault. I'll move it there.

Further edit: http://serverfault.com/questions/177795/url-rewrite-in-weblogic-11g is the Server Fault link.

+1 A:

If you are using Apache HTTPD with the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In in front of WebLogic, then it should be possible to use mod_rewrite before to send request to WebLogic.
If not, then you could use Tuckey's Url Rewrite Filter (a Java Filter) that allows to rewrite URLs in a mod_rewrite like manner at the application server level.

c.f. my responses on Server Fault. I'll remove this question here to reduce confusion. edit: Never mind, deletion isn't unilateral for someone of my rep.

@wilsona This question is IMO appropriate for SO as it may involve "programming" (with the Filter part). As I answered on SF, the filter is not a WebLogic add-on, this is a Servlet Filter, it's part of the web app.

A good argument, but it's still code that would have to be managed that isn't delivered with the system as-is (this particular WebLogic installation is part of a system package install), so it's not completely desirable in this particular case (management of new code requires a lot of documentation with this particular client). Since it would work almost everywhere else, though, I'm going to go ahead and accept your answer.
