This "/SomeURL" is an 'abstracted path name' for your servlet. Map this "SomeURL" to an actual servlet in the web.xml like this (Of course this assuming you are using
tomcat servlet container)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SomeServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.somepackage.ActualServlet</servlet-class>
(this is the fully qualified path of the servlet)
</servlet>
Map the above servlet name to a URL using a mapping like this :
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SomeServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SomeURL</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
All this assuming you have basic knowledge about servlets and Tomcat container.
Once you are in the servlet you can forward the request to any other resource you want to.
Good luck!
