URL Rewriting

In URL rewriting, we append a token or identifier to the URL of the next Servlet or the next resource. We can send parameter name/value pairs using the following format:

url?name1=value1&name2=value2&??

Advantage of URL Rewriting:

• It will always work whether cookie is disabled or not (browser independent).
• Extra form submission is not required on each pages.

Disadvantage of URL Rewriting:

• It will work only with links.
• It can send Only textual information.
