An example of UrlRewrite

[shashikant]

Hi All,

I am new to URLRewrite and looking to do something like this :

I have a URL :

https://abc.test.com/test?cnrt=TestCnrt&status=pass

this url needs to be shown as :

https://abc.test.com/test/pass/TestCnrt.html

when we click a link. (the url is relatively formed upto https://abc.test.com/test).


Please suggest a simple rule which i can add in the rewrite.xml .


Thanks and regards
Shashikant

Go through this - http://urlrewritefilter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/doc/manual/3.2/index.html
You'll find nice illustrative samples here.

Cheers

hi Avlesh,

Thanks for link.

I find none my rules are getting fired. I have put logger in debug
mode as :

<filter>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</
filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>logLevel</param-name>
<param-value>DEBUG</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>

However no log is getting generated. (Tomcat server 4.1)

Regards

I find there are 3-4 more filters which have /* in the url-pattern and
the URL-ReWriter filter is not being hit

please suggest if there is a workaound for this, as I cannot modify
the existing filters.

Try making URF as you first filter and see if it works. If it doesn't, post the web.xml snippet for filters configured in your web-app. You must have copied your urlrewrite.xml in WEB-INF/, right?

The web.xml has entries as :

<filter>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</
filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>logLevel</param-name>
<param-value>DEBUG</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>

<filter>
<filter-name>ResponseSizeFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.myapp.dcm.core.filters.ResponseSizeFilter</
filter-class>
</filter>

<filter>
<filter-name>AAFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.myapp.dcm.core.filters.AAFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>RequestControlFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.myapp.dcm.core.filters.RequestControlFilter</
filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>TimingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.myapp.dcm.core.filters.TimerFiler</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter>
<filter-name>EntryFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.myapp.dcm.core.filters.EntryFilter</filter-
class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>EntryFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TimingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>RequestControlFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Always the RequestControlFilter is getting picked up.

Upon debugging by adding the UrlRewrite source code i find the
following :

statusEnabledOnHosts is null. PLease let me know what this parameter
sets and how does it impact the application.

Thanks

statusEnabledOnHosts is null. PLease let me know what this parameter sets and how does it impact the application.

This parameter has nothing to do with regular rewriting. It is an optional parameter to configure a status servlet in your application which gives the more info on the rules configured in your webapp when you hit the URL - /rewrite-status

Looking at your filter chain the statement "Always the RequestControlFilter is getting picked up" does not make sense. You'll have to find out why URF is not invoked first.

Send a snippet from you urlrewrite.xml if the filter is not yet working properly.
