RewriteRule does not work on my EAP 6.0 with HTTP POST messages

[carlogo]

Hello,

     I am trying to implement rewrite option on my EAP 6.0. over my SUSE SO. My target is change all HTTP POST messages with URI /foo/bar to another URI /example/bank:

          POST  /foo/bar HTTP/1.1     >>>     POST  /example/bank HTTP/1.1

     So, after I read http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/rewrite.html tutorial my steps are the next:

              - Include on my jboss-web.xml the next sentences:

                   <valve>  

                          <class-name>org.jboss.web.rewrite.RewriteValve</class-name>

                   </valve>

               - Add rewrite.properties file with just the next rule inside:

                    RewriteRule bar$ http://ip:port/example/bank [R]

     All those files are placed in:

          webapp/

          `-- WEB-INF

              |-- jboss-web.xml

              |-- rewrite.properties

              `-- web.xml

     But my server says HTTP 404 Not found message when my client send POST  /foo/bar HTTP/1.1  message.

     So, is the rewrite utility available on EAP 6.0? Is my syntax and configuration ok? Any other solution to get my target?

     Many thanks in advance!

     Carlos.
