Servlets that change the URL request on the fly?



Is is possible for a servlet to change the requested url in its response back
to the client?

For example:

User requests http://www.bob.com/servlet/BobServlet, handle the request, and
part of that handling would be to re-write the requested url to
http://www.bob.com/bob.html so the response would be the servlets output, but
the url would look like a static page.

Are servlets capable of manipulating the url to the level of detail? I combed
the API but cannot find something that would allow me to manipulate the url to
the extent.
