If you are fronting your OFBiz with Apache web server, you can use the mod_rewrite along with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp modules to rewrite the URLs. You may also need mod_proxy_html. I used it for one our client and it worked pretty well.

Hi list... Jaques correctly pointed to post my question here, instead of Dev: here it is...Hope someone is gonna help us ;) Thanks Hi list we were looking around possibilities to remove the Control Servlet from a customized application, in a way that the frontend will not contain in the URL /control/. Is there a way to do that directly in the application web.xml descriptor? That's just a strange request of one of our customers...for us it is definitely ok to leave it ;) But you all know that customer request must be satisfied (as much as we can)... We tried urlrewrite, without totally success. Using a rule like the following one, we were able to filter the content generated from response.encodeURL: <outbound-rule> <note> When response.encodeURL is called (RequestHandler.encodeURL) the url /control/something will be rewritten to /something. The above rule and this outbound-rule means that end users should never see the url /control/something /something both in thier location bar and in hyperlinks in your pages. </note> <from>^/control/(.*)$</from> <to>/$1</to> </outbound-rule> Anyway we need also another rule to filter input...something like this (not working): <rule> <note> Requests without /control/ will be silently rewritten. </note><from>^/(.+)$</from><to>/control/$1</to> </rule> I've read that months ago Jaques was speaking on urlrewrite... Is there someone that had our same necessity before? Thanks list, thanks Ofbiz developers Michele Orrù
