public class RewriteHandler extends HandlerWrapper

Rewrite handler is responsible for managing the rules. Its capabilities is not only limited for URL rewrites such as RewritePatternRule or RewriteRegexRule. There is also handling for cookies, headers, redirection, setting status or error codes whenever the rule finds a match.

The rules can be matched by the either: pattern matching of @ServletPathSpec (eg PatternRule), regular expressions (eg RegexRule) or certain conditions set (eg MsieSslRule - the requests must be in SSL mode).

The rules can be grouped into rule containers (class RuleContainer), and will only be applied if the request matches the conditions for their container (e.g., by virtual host name)

The list of predefined rules is:
