urlrewrite dropping parameters after ? ( question mark)

[Drew DeGraff]

I have configured urlrewrite...which was a complete pain for tomcat7...none of the instructions were complete or were from 10000 feet up.

Anyway.. here is my xml

<urlrewrite>

<rule>

<note>

rewrite from old apex system

</note>

       <rule>

            <from>/pls/apex/(.*)</from>

            <to type="redirect">/apex/$1</to>

        </rule> </rule>

</urlrewrite>

Migrating from Oracle HTTP Server to Tomcat.  We basically have gotten rid of the pls, but have legacy stuff so I need this url redirected

So I need this:

http://myserver/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1

to map to this: 

http://myserver/apex/f?p=4550:1

but I get this instead:

http://myserver/apex/f

It's dropping everything after the "?"

Any ideas?

Hi Drew,

I struggled with the same problem and for me this line helps:

<urlrewrite use-query-string="true">
