UrlRewriteFilter doesn't work in combination with Virtual Host?

[acsnaterse]

Hi,

I just used your UrlRwriteFilter tool and this works good when I use
it in a environment without virtual hosts.

For example:
http://localhost:8080/SiteName/test/something is perfectly redirected
to /bin/test.jsp?ID=something when I use this rule:

<rule enabled="true">
<from>^/test/([a-z]+)</from>
<to>/bin/test.jsp?test=$1</to>
</rule>

But when I want to use this in an environment with a virtual host
(like http://www.mydomain.com/test/something instead of
http://localhost:8080/SiteName/test/something) I got a 404 error and
the whole url rewrite doesn't work anymore.

Maybe you know what I'm doing wrong or where I should take a look/make
changes to get this working with virtual hosts?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Arjan Snaterse

In order to even get close to investigating this problem I need to
know the following:

- what application server are you using?
- what is "doing" the virtual hosting (the app server or is there an
apache in-front of it)?
- how is the virtual hosting configured?
- what is the 404 for? (ie, what appears in your log as the not found resource)

Cheers,
Paul.

- Application sever: Apache Tomcat/5.0.28
- The virtual host is "done" by the application server in de
server.xml
- This is in my server.xml for the virtual host:

<Host name="host_name">
<Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
prefix="mydomain" suffix=".log" pattern="common" directory="$
{jboss.server.home.dir}/log"/>
<DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"/>
</Host>

- And this is what I get with the 404 error (when I go to www.mydomain.com):

HTTP Status 404 - /

type: Status report
message: /
description: The requested resource (/) is not available.

What log output do you get when you set urlrewritefilter to log at debug level?

This appears in the log:

library: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no HL_Wrapper_CS in

Nobody?

I don't think this has anything to do with UrlRewriteFilter...

try setting log level to this...

<init-param>
<param-name>logLevel</param-name>
<param-value>sysout:DEBUG</param-value>
</init-param>

Okay, now this is in the logs:

So, it seems that it cannot find the UrlRewriteFilter class, but the
jar file (urlrewrite-2.6.0.jar) is in the lib directory. What am I
doing wrong?

Unfortunately I can't help you with classpath problems.
UrlRewriteFilter is a plain old servlet filter you stick the jar in
your WEB-INF/lib and add it to web.xml. The rest is up to your web
app server.
