I think I don't really understand how it works. So if my request
abc.com/a doesn't even get to B.war i.e abc.com/b then how would
having filters in web.xml help.
request abc.com/a "doesn't get to B.war" BECAUSE it is changed to
abc.com/b.
Also, is adding just <rule> not enough? Why do we also need to add a
filter.
You need the filter to apply the rule to the incoming request to
convert as you desire.

Something like the following might be helpful for your 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>sysout:DEBUG</param-value>
</init-param>
-->
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
If you uncomment the "init-param" items above, youll get debug
output.
And of course you'll need a file "urlrewrite.xml" in your WEB-INF to
express the rules you want. One of my projects has rules that
look like this:
<rule>
<from>^/ContactUs$</from>
<to type="forward">/ContactUs.do</to>
</rule>
<outbound-rule>
<from>^/ContactUs.do$</from>
<to>/ContactUs</to>
</outbound-rule>
My own experience is that tuckey rewrite is very fast.

I am using Tomcat 5.5 and I need to change the URL for eg: abc.com/A
to abc.com/B. I read about UrlRewrite at tuckey.org as suggested by
this user group. So as I understand I need to do
the following:
1. In my servlet B.war file I need to edit web.xml and add the
following at the top:
<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>
</filter-mapping>
2. Redploy
My question is if I put it in B.war in web.xml then how will this
work
because abc.com/A will not be routed to B servlet. Since it will not
be routed then how and where will the translation occur?
Is there any performance overhead of using UrlRewrite?
