[jetty-users] Jetty 8 - tracing rewrite rules

[Michael Dykman <mdykman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have Jetty 8 installed running under Ubuntu 14.04, installed from
the apt repository.

I have 3 virtual hosts defined in my set up (using contexts) as well
as a collection of rewrite rules.

>From a visual inspection, it appears that the rewrite rules are set up
correctly but simple tests are failing in a way that suggests that
theses rules are not being applied.

What mechanism is there that I could view the activity of the rewrite
handler and see the request URI before and after the transformation?



The configuration for those rewrite rules looks something like this
fragment below.

<!-- rules that apply only to the api subdomain -->
<Call name="addRule">
   <Arg>
      <New id="api-virtualHost"
class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.VirtualHostRuleContainer">
         <Set name="virtualHosts">
            <Array type="java.lang.String">
               <Item>api.viafoura.com</Item>
            </Array>
          </Set>
          <Call name="addRule">
             <Arg>
                <New
class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RewritePatternRule">
                   <Set name="pattern">^/app/V([0-9a-zA-Z]{7,26})/(.*)$</Set>
                   <Set name="replacement">/$2</Set>
                   <Set name="terminating">true</Set>
                </New>
             </Arg>
          </Call>
...
