Installing Rewriter

1. If you are not using Maven you need to add this two jars to classpath (eg. WEB-INF/lib/): softeu-rewriter-1.1.8.jar and xom-1.1.jar.

   If you are using Maven add dependency to pom.xml:

   <!-- url rewriter -->
   <dependency>
       <groupId>cz.softeu</groupId>
       <artifactId>softeu-rewriter</artifactId>
       <version>1.1.8</version>
       <scope>runtime</scope>
   </dependency>

2. Add to web.xml:

   <!-- url rewriter -->
   <filter>
       <filter-name>RewriterFilter</filter-name>
       <filter-class>cz.softeu.rewriter.RewriterFilter</filter-class>
   </filter>
   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>RewriterFilter</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

3. Create WEB-INF/rewriter-config.xml:

   <rewriter-config xmlns:b="http://rewriter.softeu.cz/basic/">
       <b:regex>
           <from>^/news/(.*)$</from>
           <to>/news.jsf?id=$1</to>
       </b:regex>
   </rewriter-config>
