Answer 1

I just add three rules before spring default rule (/**) to tuckey's urlrewritefilter (urlrewrite.xml) to solve the problem

    
     
      /
      /app/welcome
     
     
      /scripts/**
      /scripts/$1
     
     
      /styles/**
      /styles/$1
     
     
      /images/**
      /images/$1
     
     
      /**
      /app/$1
     
     
      /app/**
      /$1
