I'm trying to use the URLRewriteFilter in combination with a number of different types of resources. It works perfectly fine for static resources and regular servlets. For JAX-RS-based services however, I get a 404.
This is the situation: There are two web applications:
basebase#nested
Requests for /base/Something/nested/furtherPath need to be forwarded to /base/nested/furtherPath. This implies forwarding from the /base context to the /base/nested context.
To do that, I configured the URLRewrite filter on the /base context:
<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>
The rules (urlrewrite.xml) are as follows:
<?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 use-context="true">
<rule>
<from>/base/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)</from>
<to type="forward" context="base/nested">/$3</to>
</rule>
</urlrewrite>
The crossContext attribute of the /base context is set to true.
This works perfectly fine for regular servlets and static resources but not for JAX-RS services. I'm doing this in TomEE JAX-RS 1.6.0.
Your help is appreciated!
