Weblogic 11g URL Rewrite

Question

I have a client running a WebLogic 11g install on a Windows Server machine who wishes to implement Apache-style mod_rewrite-like functionality to translate requests for http

Answer 1

• If you are using Apache HTTPD with the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In in front of WebLogic, then it should be possible to use mod_rewrite before to send request to WebLogic.

• If not, then you could use Tuckey's Url Rewrite Filter (a Java Filter) that allows to rewrite URLs in a mod_rewrite like manner at the application server level.

Answer 2

I would use either PrettyFaces or OCPsoft Rewrite for this. Both are more updated solutions to the URL-rewriting domain:

Answer 3

There is no way to do this out of the box with weblogic. The least invasive is to implement Pascal's suggestion of a url rewrite filter. I had the exact same requirement (implement this with just weblogic, no additional code as it would have to be managed/documented, etc) and there was no way to do this.
