URL rewrite in Wildfly?

Question

I built up an app using RichFaces, PrimeFaces, and Java in the back. The outcome (mysite.war) I let run within Wildfly 8.

Now my pages are like this:

1. www.mysite.com/index.jsf
2. www.mysite.com/report.jsf?no=1
3. www.mysite.com/report.jsf?no=2
4. www.mysite.com/report.jsf?no=3
5. www.mysite.com/report.jsf?no=4
6. www.mysite.com/legal.jsf

I would like to change that to more readable URLs. Especially the reports! Taking the example order, I am looking forward to having something like this:

1. www.mysite.com
2. www.mysite.com/report/turkey
3. www.mysite.com/report/germany
4. www.mysite.com/report/england
5. www.mysite.com/report/spain
6. www.mysite.com/legal

I believe I will have to concentrate on the equivalent of mod_rewrite in Wildfly 8? Does anybody know a step-by-step how to for that? Or maybe a short explanation?

You may also want to look at Rewrite, which will be the core of PrettyFaces 4. It's more dynamic and can intercept URLs if you require login.
