XML : UrlRewriting not happening

I am using urlrewriter for the first time.

Following are the changes I made in my pom.xml, web.xml and created a new file UrlRewrite.xml Am I missing something? when I hit the url: http://localhost:8080/myapp/1.0/rest/users from the browser it does not redirect anywhere, instead gives me the result directly. I checked the library, the jar has been downloaded by maven.

pom.xml:

  <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"       xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">  ...  <dependencies>      <dependency>          <groupId>org.tuckey</groupId>          <artifactId>urlrewritefilter</artifactId>          <version>4.0.3</version>      </dependency>  </dependencies>  ...    

web.xml

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"      version="2.4">        <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>    </web-app>    

UrlRewrite.xml

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  <!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 4.0//EN"          "http://www.tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite4.0.dtd">  <urlrewrite>      <rule>          <from>^/myapp/(.*)$</from>          <to>/$1</to>      </rule>  </urlrewrite>
