Bryan : None of the example redirects you posted really require regular expressions. As far as I can see you want a simple mapping of /dir1/dir2 to /other_dir. Of course I don't know the details, but it seems like you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. Why won't a simple Redirect solve your problem? If it really won't, I'm interested in the reasons.

Im not sure about mod_proxy, but if you are using httpd2 you can write a small mod_perl TransHandler to do the job:

if you do a lot of web programming, mod_perl is worthwhile learning, you can do a lot of cool things with it. Basically all the httpd2 internals are exposed to mod_perl.

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?
