url rewriting problem in tomcat with apache

[vikasparmar]

I want to rewrite the dynamic url which is generated using jsp and I am using tomcat and Apache which are connected using mod_jk.

Here is the scenario:

Dynamic url:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/GeekMantra/subsection?section=JSP

Final static url I want is:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/GeekMantra/subsection/section/JSP

All the things are going fine but I can't able to implement the url rewrite rule, means I can't able to figure out where should I place my rewrite rule so that apache can map it in static url.

I had tried the following in httpd.conf file but with no success:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost localhost:8080>
   #    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
   #    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
   ServerName localhost
     #    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
   #    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule http://localhost/subsection/(.*)/(.*)/$ /GeekMantra/subsection?$1=$2
</VirtualHost>   

Please help as I am desperately want it to be done.

Try

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost localhost:8080>
  ServerName localhost
  Options +FollowSymLinks

  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteRule ^/GeekMantra/subsection/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /GeekMantra/subsection?$1=$2 [QSA,PT,L]
</VirtualHost>

Mod_rewrite will not change the links in your pages.
