Yeah, the next line is RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$1 [E=FOCUS:true,E=REWRITEMAP_RESULT:%1,L] > You are aware that a "RewriteCond" > statement only gets evaluated if the following RewriteRule matches? Ah, I thought it is the other way around. > Can you maybe just describe what it is you are trying to achieve? > Maybe there is a simpler way. I really hope there is. ;) I am creating the new version of http://andaluciajunta.es/BOJA. The current version is a dynamic J2EE app and the next version is completely based on static html pages (generated by Apache Forrest) that are using some ssi for common parts. The common parts are: - header - footer - left menu Now the left menu will be changed in the new version to just a couple of points. The most important for our use case are: - Último boletín (last bulletin) - Boletines anteriores (older bulletins) The interesting code snippet is the following: <li> <a accesskey="U" href="/BOJA">Último boletín</a> </li> <li> <a accesskey="F" class="actual" href="/boja/boletines/index.html">Boletines anteriores</a> </li> You see the second li has a class="actual" that produces a presentational highlight. Now all bulletins share the same left.ssi.html but the last (most recent) bulletin should highlight the first li and not the second. The most recent bulletin is defined a redirect.txt that is changed with every new bulletin (will be generated each day). To prevent to generate two different ssi for the left menu I wanted to use something like: <!--#if expr="test_condition" --> <!--#else --> <!--#endif --> to either highlight the first or the second. Like you noticed I am trying to compare the REQUEST_URI with the result of the map entry ${portadaboja:boletin}. If they are the same I would like to set FOCUS=true (where FOCUS=test_condition). We started with that the R flag which I need to use since the trigger url (.../BOJA) HAS TO be rewritten to the latest bulletin (e.g. /boletines/2008/1/index.html) will produce another request. Now I am trying to compare the requested url with the one from the rewriteMap to decide which points needs to be highlighted. Hopes that makes the use case and the requisition clearer. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
