Don't you need to move this in a seperate file named 'urlrewrite.xml' instaed of web.xml

<rule match-type="wildcard">

    <from>/world.xhtml</from>

    <to>/world</to>

</rule>

move above 4 lines to 'urlrewrite.xml' and place in same location as web.xml

So after much experimentation I found how to do remove the JSP extension from all pages.  The rule below translats any page that has 1 or more characters in the page URI and fowards it to [page name].jsp

Its important to not fire the rule if its not a JSP page off the context root for my site so I exclude files in folders css, img, css, product-img

    <rule match-type="regex">
         <condition type="request-url" operator="notequal">^.*\.jsp$</condition>

        <condition type="request-url" operator="notequal">/img/.*</condition>

        <to type="forward">%{request-uri}.jsp</to>
    </rule>
</urlrewrite>

Does anyone have an example of the rule(s) to tidy up a JSP page URL in a generic manner?  I'd like to remove the .jsp file extensions from all pages without having to specify the page name in each rule.  i.e. from /Login.jsp to /Login for all jsp pages.
