Comment on Tuckey URLRewrite How-To by Suryansh Purwar

Hi,

I’m a newbie to tomcat. I’ve installed tomcat on my unix system using the tar.gz distribution. I want to redirect request to one(let’s say XYZ) of my apis to other(let’s say ABC). So the request http://localhost:8080/XYZ/select?a=b should get redirected to http://localhost:8080/ABC/select?a=b.
I placed the urlrewrite-4.0.0.jar inside pathToTomcatExtractionFolder/lib folder

I edited the web.xml file present inside pathToTomcatExtractionFolder/conf/web.xml and added :

UrlRewriteFilter
org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter

logLevel
WARN

UrlRewriteFilter
/*

I’ve placed urlrewrite.xml inside pathToTomcatExtractionFolder/conf/. and defined this rule inside it:

/XYZ/select?(.*)
/ABC/select?$1

After this I restarted the tomcat but even then when I call http://localhost:8080/XYZ/select?a=b in my browser, it’s not getting redirected.

Thanks in advance,
Suryansh
