This enables the HTML5 History.pushState(...) support in your application, which will now use pretty/URLs whenever possible instead of the '#' anchor tag with 'name=value' pairs. Note that you must modify your place tokenization to process the new information.

1. Include Rewrite GWT in your application's POM file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.ocpsoft.rewrite</groupId>
        <artifactId>rewrite-integration-gwt</artifactId>
        <version>${rewrite.version}</version>
    </dependency>
   

2. Include Rewrite GWT in your App.gwt.xml file:

    <inherits name="org.ocpsoft.rewrite.gwt.Rewrite" />
   

3. Enable bookmarking by routing some or all URLs back to your host application file. Below is a recommended rule format (replace /index.jsp with the path to your application):

    public class HistoryRewriteConfiguration extends HttpConfigurationProvider
    {
       public static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(HistoryRewriteConfiguration.class);
    
       @Override
       public Configuration getConfiguration(ServletContext context)
       {
          return ConfigurationBuilder
               .begin()
           
               .addRule(Join.path("/").to("/index.jsp").withInboundCorrection())
        
               .defineRule()
               .when(DispatchType.isRequest()
                    .and(Path.matches("{path}").where("path").matches(".*"))
                    .andNot(Resource.exists("{path}"))
                    .andNot(ServletMapping.includes("{path}")))
               .perform(Forward.to("/index.jsp"));
       }
        
       @Override
       public int priority()
       {
          return 0;
       }
    }
