One thing I did found out is that in order for the PT to work, I have to use
the <servlet-mapping> tag in web.xml for every alias that needs a redirect.
Eg.
RewriteRule ^/hello(.*) /examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample$1 [PT]
(though I could use /servlet/HelloWorldExample instead)
Then add the following to my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This will work for all my previous Rewriterules (from jserv setup).
In short, no change to rewrite rules but add every other alias name (hello)
used in the rewrite rule to the web.xml file!
Thanks for helping me found this.
