If you're already writing dynamic content, you might as well code the
redirection stuff yourself.  It's not particularly difficult and leaves
you far more flexibility than mod_rewrite or mod_proxy can offer.

Your java web-apps (or something else you write) can send HTTP responses
back themselves.  All mod_rewrite does is send a 302 back to the client.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html ...has a list of
everything you could need, I think.
