Question

how to rewrite or generate url like twitter and facebook in java….

Example : https://www.facebook.com/username, https://www.twitter.com/username

is there any java framework for this?

If anyone’s got any ideas on how I could do this, or examples to help me that would be great!

Answer 1

There are quite a lot of options. Almost every framework can do that. Here are a few options:

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