urlrewrite, angularjs and GAE

[d...@buckup.biz]

Good Day All, 

I'm trying to use urlrewrite to forward all links back to index.html to avoid the 500 error when a page in the app is refreshed.  I have searched high and low and the examples I find are not working for me. Would anyone mind providing some feedback on the code below?  Thanks!

~~ AngularJS Router ~~

app.config(['$urlRouterProvider'

    , '$stateProvider'

    , '$locationProvider'

    , function ($urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider, $locationProvider) {

        $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);

}]);

~~ index.html ~~

    <base href="/index.html" />

~~ web.xml ~~

  <welcome-file-list>

        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

  </welcome-file-list>

  <filter>

    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>

    <filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>

    <init-param>

   <param-name>logLevel</param-name>  

<param-value>DEBUG</param-value>     

    </init-param>

 

</filter>

<filter-mapping>

   <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>

   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

   <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>

   <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>

</filter-mapping>

~~ urlrewrite.xml ~~

<urlrewrite default-match-type="wildcard">

<rule>

<from>home/**</from>

<to>index.html</to>

</rule>

<rule>

<from>public/**</from>

<to type="redirect">index.html</to>

</rule>

</urlrewrite>
