I would like to use UrlRewriteFilter to remove JSP file extentions in a generic manner to avoid having to specify individual servlet-mappings for 150+ files. Does anyone know what the rule would be for something like that?
From *.jsp to *
ie: /Login.jsp would be translated to /Login
So after much experimentation I found out how to do remove the JSP extension from all pages with urlrewrite. The rule below translates any page that has 1 or more characters in the page URI and forwards it to [page name].jsp
Its important to not fire the rule if its not a JSP page off the context root for my site so I exclude files in folders css, img, css, product-img
