URL rewrite in JBoss 7

[Greg Charles]

I'm having trouble porting our single rewrite rule from JBoss 4.2.3 to 7.0.2. The documentation page I found at http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/rewrite.html talks of server.xml and the rewrite valve, so it appears to have been cut-and-pasted from an older version of JBoss and isn't relevant. The only other piece of information I can find is in the issue tracker at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1762, which says there are problems with URL rewriting, but doesn't seem to suggest that it doesn't work at all. Here's sample from that page:

<virtual-server name="default-host"> <alias name="localhost"/> <alias name="example.com"/> <rewrite pattern="^/helloworld(.*)" substitution="/helloworld/test.jsp"/> </virtual-server>

That looks like a new way of doing rewriting, but I can't find it documented anywhere. If anyone could help out with a link, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
