how do i differentiate between two or more url Rules

[pramod]

here is my que...
if my 1st rule is----
1)<rule enabled="true">
<from>^/newlisting/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)$</from>
<to>/newlisting.jsp?country=$1&amp;state=$2&amp;city=$3&amp;cat=
$4</to>
</rule>

and if 2nd Rule is----
2)<rule enabled="true">
<from>^/newlisting/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)$</from>
<to>/newlisting.jsp?country=$1&amp;state=$2&amp;city=
$3&amp;company=$4</to>
</rule>

in above rules last parameter are different for them, for 1st it is
"cat=$4" and for 2nd it is "company=$4".
i use these 2 Rules because i hv navigation search under my
application, like
1)by category
2)by company
3)by type.....etc

if i click on company then it takes company as category...and my query
goes wrong.
plzzzz help me to overcome this problem.

thanx in advance.

Well, no amount of url rewriting can help you here. The two rule you have used are exactly similar and everything will match the first rule. Couple of things you can do here -

1. If your category/company/type etc is a definitive list, then you can put them in the rule itself like this - "<from>^/newlisting/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/(category1|category2|category3)$</from>". And you can have similar rule for all of the different types.
2. Just have one different delimiter for each type. So, basically, I am suggesting you to have URL's like these - "/newlisting/country/state/city/category/my-category-name", "/newlisting/country/state/city/company/my-company-name" etc. You can simply rewrite using 3 rules based on these boldened delimiters.
   
3. This is off the filter - you can always have just one rule, and everything matches that one rule. Once you get the data in your servlet, you can figure out what it is.

I was talking about having different URL structures for different types. e.g in your case, you can design the URL's like these

• /newlisting/country/state/city/company/my-company-name
• /newlisting/country/state/city/category/my-company-name
• /newlisting/country/state/city/some-other-type/my-company-name

If it is okay to have these url's in your application, then you can simply write three different rewrite rules, sending each one of the above to a different "to" url without ambiguity.
