Using Apache2.  Rewriting mod_proxy was suggested to me, but I am not very good with that so I am still thinking, if I have to go that deep, I should perhaps just write a servlet filter for my app and have it set as part of the config file I use for deployment.

  Bryan, you may have to write a custom handler in mod_perl.  Being that you are intercepting Tomcat requests, you may have to specify what phase you want to modify.  btw- are you using httpd 1 or 2?  -jmz

Ok, I lied the whole thing is mute because I can not get anything work
with tomcat.

Here is the full deal, I have my developers working on there projects
with all the images being stored under /AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg
and with our set up of apache forwarding the request through an
encrypted ajp tunnel to tomcat that then forwards the image to apache,
which then delivers it to the user, it is just a bit slow and there is
no need for it.  What I want to do is rewrite it so instead of going to
/AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg on my tomcat server it just goes to
/Images/Page/image1.jpg on my apache server.  Any suggestions?

For reasons I don't want to go into, I need to rewrite all references to
/dir1/dir2/ to /other_dir/ so that /dir1/dir2/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/file.ext and /dir1/dir2/dir3/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/dir3/file.ext and dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/dir3/dir4/file.ext, etc.

I can rewrite /dir1/dir2/file.ext to /other_dir/file.ext no problem with
RewriteRule ^/dir1/dir2/(.*) /other_dir/$1 however I can not seem to get
it to preserve directories.  I do not mind writing additional rules to
escape the directories like RewriteRule ^/test/([^/\.]+)/(.*)
/other_dir/$1/$2 but that does not seem to work.  Any suggestions?
