    text
    copied!<p><strong>Summary</strong></p> <p>I am having trouble getting UrlRewriteFilter up and running on Tomcat.</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong></p> <p>I can only get one of the two rules from the default urlrewrite.xml file to work. I followed the <a href="http://urlrewritefilter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/doc/manual/3.2/index.html#install" rel="nofollow">installation directions</a> without much of a problem and I haven't changed any defaults or messed with the configuration file. </p> <p><strong>Example</strong></p> <p>The outbound rule works: <a href="http://localhost:8080/mysite/rewrite-status" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/mysite/rewrite-status</a> successfully takes me to a description page of my urlrewrite.xml file.</p> <p>But the regular rule doesn't work: <a href="http://localhost:8080/mysite/test/status" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/mysite/test/status</a> does not redirect me to <a href="http://localhost:8080/mysite/rewrite-status" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/mysite/rewrite-status</a>. I get a 404 result.</p> <p>Am I expecting the wrong thing from these rules? What could be wrong?</p> <p><strong>Details</strong></p> <p>Here is the urlrewrite.xml file that comes with the installation:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 3.2//EN" "http://www.tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite3.2.dtd"&gt; &lt;urlrewrite&gt; &lt;rule&gt; &lt;note&gt; The rule means that requests to /test/status/ will be redirected to /rewrite-status the url will be rewritten. &lt;/note&gt; &lt;from&gt;/test/status/&lt;/from&gt; &lt;to type="redirect"&gt;%{context-path}/rewrite-status&lt;/to&gt; &lt;/rule&gt; &lt;outbound-rule&gt; &lt;note&gt; The outbound-rule specifies that when response.encodeURL is called (if you are using JSTL c:url) the url /rewrite-status will be rewritten to /test/status/. The above rule and this outbound-rule means that end users should never see the url /rewrite-status only /test/status/ both in their location bar and in hyperlinks in your pages. &lt;/note&gt; &lt;from&gt;/rewrite-status&lt;/from&gt; &lt;to&gt;/test/status/&lt;/to&gt; &lt;/outbound-rule&gt; &lt;/urlrewrite&gt; </code></pre>
