Tomcat URL masking question...
Dear Tomcat Users.
I'm trying to do a URL masking on Tomcat 5.5.25.
What I specifically want to do is:
I execute (call) an app with the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=carinst
(see the attached image)
Now, I need to mask the URL to get the same result calling the app as:
http://localhost:8080/car
i.e. mask "/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=3Dcarinst" as "/car".
Is this possible?
and if so,
Where shall I set this masking?
Apreciatte your help on this.
Kind regards. http://www.nabble.com/file/p22378836/carinst.jpg

You don't seem to have your own application deployed. Where do you have
your own application deployed? From your previous post, it would seem
that it should be under webapps/ibi_apps, but it's not shown here.
You have two options for deployment of the urlrewrite library:
1. Under the ROOT webapp. Here, you'd map URLs of the form:
/car(.*)? -> /ibi_apps\1
2. Under a new webapp deployed to "/car". Here, you'd use:
(.*)? -> /ibi_apps\1
So it depends on how you choose to do your deployment. Did you want to
just make short URLs available to users, or do you actually want all
your URLs to look like "/car" and not change to anything else in the URL
bar of the client's browser?

Dear Chuck.
I tried to implement #2 as you suggested, using urlrewrite as in
http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/manual/2.6
Under "Install" I see on STEP 1: “Download the zip (or tar.gz) and
extract it into your context'sdirectory ie, so that urlrewrite.xml goes into
the WEB-INF directory”.
However, looking into my file directory I found 6 WEB-INF directories:
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\tomcat-docs
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\server\webapps\admin
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\server\webapps\host-manager
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\server\webapps\manager
C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\tomcat-docs\appdev\sample\web
In which one should I extract the zip file into?
Thanks and regards.
Rodrigo.

It's not "masking" by any usual definition that you want.
You have a couple of easy choices:
1) Deploy a webapp named "car" that does a redirect or forward to the desired URL.
2) Implement a filter in your default webapp that is triggered by the /car <url-pattern> that does the redirect or forward.
You may find this useful as a variation of #2:
