[jetty-users] Regex Rewrite gives 404

[Melissa Mifsud <melissa.anne.mifsud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I've been battling with this problem for a while now. I have set up 2 rewrite rules as follows:

       // Set up rewrite handler and rules

       RewriteHandler rewriter = new RewriteHandler();

        rewriter.setRewritePathInfo(true);

        rewriter.setRewriteRequestURI(true);

        rewriter.setOriginalPathAttribute("requestedPath");

        

        RewritePatternRule admin = new RewritePatternRule();

        admin.setPattern("/admin/");

        admin.setReplacement("/admin.html");

        rewriter.addRule(admin);

        

        RewriteRegexRule edit = new RewriteRegexRule();

        edit.setRegex("/edit/([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)");

        edit.setReplacement("/edit.html?dashboard=$1");

        rewriter.addRule(edit);

       // Set up the WebAppContext and add the rewrite handler to it

       WebAppContext _ctx = new WebAppContext();

       _ctx.setContextPath("/");

       _ctx.setWar(PATH_TO_WEBAPP);

       _ctx.setHandler(rewriter);

       // Set up context handlers

       List<Handler> _handlers = new ArrayList<Handler>();

       _handlers.add(_ctx);

       HandlerList _contexts = new HandlerList();

       _contexts.setHandlers(_handlers.toArray(new Handler[0]));

       // Set up the handler collection

       HandlerCollection _result = new HandlerCollection();

       //_result.setHandlers(new Handler[] {_contexts, _log});

       _result.setHandlers(new Handler[] {_contexts});
