Thanks. I have placed the files/codes in the right spots and when I do localhost:8080/mywebapp/rewrite-status I get the urlrewrite page.
But what i need is when a user types in the browser www.mydomain.com, it should go to http://00.00.00.00:8080/mywebapp/welcome.action but still display http://www.mydomain.com and when I click on a link, it should take my to ex. http://00.00.00.00:8080/mywebapp/register.action but in the address bar show http://www.mydomain.com/register.action. Can you use this example for the urlrewrite and where to place the codes? Thanks.
