trouble with url rewrite

[Carol Cheung <ca...@consumercontact.com>]

I'm trying to user UrlRewrite for the following task:

If the user types http://localhost.whatever.com:8080/first/
I want the url redirected to
http://localhost.whatever.com:8080/second/here/user/index.jsp,
but the url that the user sees is still
http://localhost.whatever.com:8080/first/

When I go to http://localhost.whatever.com:8080/first/, I get a 404 error.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

I'm using Tomcat 5.5

I have the urlrewrite jar in lib

Here's a portion of web.xml:
  <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>WARN</param-value>
    </init-param>
  </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

And here's urlrewrite.xml
<urlrewrite>
    <rule>
        <from>/first/$</from>
        <to>/second/here/user/index.jsp</to>
    </rule>
</urlrewrite>

Thanks in advance,
Carol

Note that this is technically off-topic. UrlRewrite is often recommended
by users of this list, but nor supported by them. That's what the author
is for.

Sounds like you aren't redirecting.

Maybe <to type="redirect">?

I suspect the page you're sending your users to have some sort of
problem. Once you have redirection working, you'll have to figure out
why your other page doesn't work.

If /first is the context path of your web app, then forwarding to
/second isn't going to work unless cross-context is enabled for your
context. What is your application's context path? Is /second in another
context? If so, perhaps the redirect will fix everything.
