Please add ServletPath to <condition>

[Hendy Irawan]

Hi!

Thank you for developing UrlRewrite.

I'm having a hard time creating exclude conditions for a rule. Please
add getServletPath() as one of the condition types.

Also, is it possible to check for existence of file in the requested
URI ? i.e. like mod_rewrite's -f , -e, -d, etc ?

Thanks.

Servlet path can be added but I am not too sure how much of help it would be for struts-like MVC implementations which are based on front controller design pattern; getServletPath in such cases would always return a single value.
If you have a specific scenario, you might want to post the problem here. Maybe there is an alternative solution.

Also, is it possible to check for existence of file in the requested URI ? i.e. like mod_rewrite's -f , -e, -d, etc ?

There's already a ticket to support -f, -d flags in mod_rewrite. The issue is here - http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=49. Interested in writing a patch?

A request of http://localhost:8080/context/path/something.html

I want to check if "/path/something.html" is equal to a list of known
paths, if so, it's excluded (so it's a negative condition).
Otherwise resume with the rewrite. Actually my wildcard would be "/
path**" but a negative one (because it's exclusion, not inclusion).

How do I get this "/path/something.html" ?

Why not use the "request-uri" based conditions. For exclusions you can use operator="notequal". Moreover, multiple conditions can be OR'ed or AND'ed with each other. Default is "AND", you can set next="or" for each <condition> in your case.
