<dependency>
<groupId>org.ocpsoft.rewrite</groupId>
<artifactId>rewrite-servlet</artifactId>
<version>${rewrite.version}</version>
</dependency>Once your project is set up to include Rewrite, just paste the following code into your application source folder.
@RewriteConfiguration
public class LogoutConfiguration extends HttpConfigurationProvider
{
@Override
public Configuration getConfiguration(ServletContext context)
{
return ConfigurationBuilder.begin()
.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound().and(Path.matches("/logout")))
.perform(new HttpOperation() {
@Override
public void performHttp(HttpServletRewrite event, EvaluationContext context)
{
event.getRequest().getSession().invalidate();
}
}.and(Redirect.temporary(context.getContextPath() + "/")));
}
@Override
public int priority()
{
return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
}
}
