I have now successfully loaded the rewrite valve in the application
context.xml but I am getting the following error on start up:
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException
This is the rewrite.config file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.domain\.org\ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.org/$1 [R=301,L]
It looks like the first line is an error and I don't know enough about
regex to fix it.
Any help is great thanks.
