  Description     : Java Web Filter J2EE compliant based on mod_rewrite which allows to rewrite URLs

 Based on the popular and very useful mod_rewrite for Apache,
 UrlRewriteFilter is a Java Web Filter for any J2EE compliant web
 application server (such as Resin, Orion or Tomcat), which allows
 you to rewrite URLs before they get to your code. It is a very
 powerful tool just like Apache's mod_rewrite.
 .
 The main things UrlRewriteFilter is used for are:
 - URL tidyness and/or URL abstraction.
 - Browser detection.
 - Date based rewriting.
 - Moved content.
 - Tiny/friendly URLs.
 - A Servlet mapping engine (see Method Invocation).
 . 
 UrlRewriteFilter uses an XML file, called urlrewrite.xml (it goes
 into the WEB-INF directory), for configuration. Most parameters can
 be Perl5 style regular expressions or wildcard expressions.
