url rewriting is mostly done by a module that intecepts
incoming requests and changes it the before the request
is forwarded to the application. The Application doesn't
see the original request. (Look for mod_rewrite for apache)
What you look for is redirection. The server tells the
browser to look at a different location for a given url.
This is part of the HTTP Spec:
HTTP 1.0 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1945.html
HTTP 1.1 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2068.html
In servlets and jsp's it can be used through
response.sendRedirect().
