There are many options. Almost every infrastructure can do this. Here are a few options:

  • use UrlRewriteFilter
  • spring -mvc allows you to map a method to /${username}
  • map the servlet to / and process request.getRequestURI() or request.getPathInfo()

I would use OCPsoft PrettyFaces or OCPsoft Rewrite for this:

With PrettyFaces :

create WEB-INF / pretty-config.xml

 <url-mapping> <pattern value="/#{username}" /> <view-id value="/profile.jsp" /> </url-mapping>

This will automatically put the "username" URL value in the request parameter named "username"

With Rewrite :

Here is the same thing using Rewrite, which is a bit more explicit, but also more powerful.

 ConfigurationBuilder.begin() .addRule(Join.path("/{username}").to("/profile.jsp") .where("username").bindsTo(Request.parameter("username")));

Hope this helps.
