I want to change My URL name in Java.

Example

Suppose my URL name is www.xyz.com/join.html

I want to change this URL in my address bar to www.xyz.com/register-user

Can anybody suggest any way to achieve this?

Thank You.

You could handle this mapping in your web.xml file, see here. — Tim Biegeleisen

What all are you using? Just the servlets or any other framework? — Abdullah Mohammad Motiullah

You need to fix your mappings in web.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>RegisterUserServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.blahBlah.RegisterUserServlet</servlet-class> //Your servlets path
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>RegisterUserServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/register-user</url-pattern> //if the url exactly matches register-user RegisterUserServlet will be called.
</servlet-mapping>

Check out this question on SO and this blog for more on what web.xml is.

You give an answer for servlet but what should be done for JSP?

You can do it the same way. Instead of giving the class path in the servlet-class tag you now have to give path for your jsp's.
