How to do dynamic URL Rewriting in J2EE
Back in my ASP.NET days, I used URLRewriter.NET to do dynamic URL Rewrites.

However, it also lets you define a "Custom Transform," a class with a single method that does URL translations for...

A Post has many Comments and a User is the author of many Comments. You may want to get a list of Comments within the context of a given User (e.g. that User's...

I've got several Portlets with some links in them, all I want is to hide the URL params.

The action request isn't hit for some reason. Does anyone have a different suggestion for...
