How can I rewrite url in SpringMVC with tuckey's UrlRewriteFilter like this:

From

http://localhost:8080/demo/api.do?method=getUser&uid=1001

to

http://localhost:8080/demo/api/user/1001

The controller snippets:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/api.do")
public class APIController {

    @RequestMapping(params = "method=getUser")
    public String methodName(HttpServletRequest request) {
        //CODE BLOCK
    }
}

Add a dependency if you're using maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.tuckey</groupId>
    <artifactId>urlrewritefilter</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Enable the filter in your web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

Add the following rule to WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml

<urlrewrite>
    <rule>
       <from>^/demo/api.do?method=getUser&amp;uid=(.*)$</from>
       <to>/demo/api/user/$1</to>
    </rule>
</urlrewrite>
