One approach is to use Resin 3.0 to implement regular expression in web.xml.
Take a look at path-mapping using resin

Experts may throw more light on this.

Abhishek,

Isn't this a continuation of this thread?

Please refrain from double-posting, it is one of the few rules at the JavaRanch.

No problem, I had pointed you to the Jakarata ORO page. They have an excellent demo page here.

Are you looking for code examples? You should be able to get some from the site and the Javadoc. If there is a specific regex that you need help with, let us know. We might be able to help.
