I am not totally sure what you mean by "subapps" but I assume it is one app server running on one port with code to support different code sets. Your rewrite.xqy can call functions from other files or route the request to another rewrite based on rules in your logic. So the main rewrite can examine the request path and if it starts with /app1/ it calls functions or routes the handling to app1-rewrite.xqy and /app2/ to app2-rewrite.xqy, etc. It can also have logic based on hostname or other parts of the request header.

With some of the marketing jargon I had seen about REST support, I thought maybe the rewriting utility-level support had been built in.

Or maybe just let me configure the rewriter script name (not the path) and let the server find the most appropriate one to use by searching up the path tree. That would let me keep my options specs simpler. (You know what they say, give 'em an inch,...). As it is, I'm encouraged to break up my subapps into separate apps with their own appservers - not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a less direct port from eXist which I'm trying to do as painlessly as possible.

It's an community maintained open-source project based on the Ruby on Rails 3.0 routing. I can give you some help if you like - there's plenty of customers using it already.

Upon review, you'll see a reference to a rest.xqy module that does the dispatching work.
