I'm trying to get some rewrite valve rules working. I have a rule that is a good regex, I validated it in a couple of regex testers. The rule doesn't seem to work though.
I was hoping to log the actions for the rewrite valve, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this.
I downloaded the source code for JBoss 4.2.3GA, and compiled and installed it. Congifured it and installed my application. All works as expected.
I hunted around for the rewrite valve code, and found it in a zip file in the source code:
C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA-src\thirdparty\jboss\web\lib\jbossweb-src.zip
When I had a look at the code in there I discovered there is no logging whatsoever in the code. I added some logging to a separate file, and then found out there isn't a build.xml file for this library. I created one, built a jbossweb.jar and installed it in my JBoss environment in two places:
C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\all\deploy\jboss-web.deployer
C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer
I restarted JBoss, and the changes had no effect. My log file was not created when I accessed the web application.
I then renamed my rewrite.properties file, and when I restarted JBoss, I got the expected log message that it couldn't find the file. I found this log message in the code, changed it, and built the jbossweb.jar file again. Installed it, restated JBoss, and the log message didn't change.
So......
Am I modifying the correct source code?
Am I installing the jbossweb.jar file properly?
Is there someplace else to install it?
Any help would be appreciated. The rewrite valve really needs a logging capability.
