description: URL rewriting instructions for Tomcat
Tomcat
Using rewrite Valve
Tomcat 8 can be configured using RewriteValve. See http://tonyjunkes.com/blog/a-brief-look-at-the-rewrite-valve-in-tomcat-8/ for examples.
Instructions for UrlRewriteFilter
UrlRewriteFilter (commonly referred to as Tuckey) is a Java web filter for compliant web application servers such as Tomcat, Jetty, Resin and JBoss. Unfortunately UrlRewriteFilter depends on XML with its extremely strict syntax.
- First follow the (install instructions on the UrlRewriteFilter website).
- Append the servlet-mapping markup to the end of the
<filter mapping>element in yourWEB-INF/web.xml - Add the pretty urls rule markup to the
<urlrewrite>element to yourWEB-INF/urlrewrite.xmlconfiguration. - Restart the web application server.
Servlet-Mapping markup
{% code title="servlet-mapping" %}
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rewrite.cfm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
{% endcode %}
Example markup with UrlRewriteFilter and Wheels pretty URLs for WEB-INF/web.xml.
{% code title="web.xml" %}
<filter>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rewrite.cfm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
{% endcode %}
Pretty URLs Rule markup
{% code title="pretty urls rule" %}
<rule enabled="true">
<name>Wheels pretty URLs</name>
<condition type="request-uri" operator="notequal">^/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cf_scripts|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|lucee|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|wheels/public/assets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)</condition>
<from>^/(.*)$</from>
<to type="passthrough">/rewrite.cfm/$1</to>
</rule>
{% endcode %}
A complete barebones WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml configuration example with pretty URLs.
{% code title="urlrewrite.xml" %}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE urlrewrite
PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 4.0//EN"
"http://www.tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite4.0.dtd">
<urlrewrite>
<rule enabled="true">
<name>Wheels pretty URLs</name>
<condition type="request-uri" operator="notequal">^/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cf_scripts|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|lucee|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|wheels/public/assets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)</condition>
<from>^/(.*)$</from>
<to type="passthrough">/rewrite.cfm/$1</to>
</rule>
</urlrewrite>
{% endcode %}
