Author Redirect for 404, alias

Hi,

I am new to IBM/Websphere/Java. Currently I work on the Microsoft
platform coding .asp pages in VBScript. On our site we give our users
the ability to type in a short catchy URL which redirects the user to
a longer more cumbersome url. For example the user types in
http://mysite.com/TodaysPromo.asp and it will redirect them to
http://mysite.com/subdir1/subdir2/s...odaysPromo.asp. We have a
lot of these type urls and the way we currently handle this is through
custom error handling for HTTP 404 errors. Any 404 error gets
redirected to a script that has code like:
If Left(LCase(strOriginalURL), 15) = "TodaysPromo.asp" then
strMappedURL = "subdir1/subdir2/subdir3/TodaysPromo.asp"
ElseIf ...

Else
strMappedURL = "default.asp"
End If

Response.Redirect strMappedURL

How would I do this processing in the Unix/IBM/Websphere world?

Thanks in advance for any help.
