Summary

0003096: dynamic rewrite-dispatch

Description

(rep by Leonid Geller)

Protocol://hostname:port/x/y.html [^]
Always forwards to Protocol://hostname:port/y.html [^]
Unless x matches a specified regex.

Where x and y.html are not known until runtime, and both could be empty.

It is easy to do the above if x is known in advance, e.g. <forward regexp="^/x" target="/" />
But I cannot figure out how to do this dynamically, so, except for a short list of ?folders? (really servlet mappings), all requests redirect to the root app.

Example 1:
http://hostname.com:88/somefolder [^] and http://hostname.com:88/somefolder/index.html [^]
should load http://hostname.com:88/index.html [^]

Example 2:
http://hostname.com:88/foo.html [^] and http://hostname.com:88/somefolder/foo.html [^]
should load the same page: http://hostname.com:88/foo.html [^]

Example 3:
http://hostname.com:88/special/foo.html [^]
should go to /special/foo.html because ?/special? is in the exceptions regex.
