java - block IP using tuckey-urlrewrite-filter rermote-addr -

i trying block ip parts of application using urlrewritefilter 4.0.3. can not work no matter try. can please help?

i have added urlrewritefilter-4.0.3.jar - /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/web-inf/lib have added urlrewrite.xml in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/web-inf/.

i have added following lines web.xml in /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/myapp/web-inf/ :

<filter>          <filter-name>urlrewritefilter</filter-name>             <filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.urlrewritefilter</filter-class>              <init-param>                 <param-name>confreloadcheckinterval</param-name>                 <param-value>0</param-value>             </init-param>              <init-param>         <param-name>statusenabled</param-name>         <param-value>true</param-value>             </init-param>             <init-param>                 <param-name>loglevel</param-name>                 <param-value>debug</param-value>             </init-param>             <init-param>                 <param-name>statusenabledonhosts</param-name>                 <param-value>localhost</param-value>             </init-param>      </filter>     <filter-mapping>         <filter-name>urlrewritefilter</filter-name>         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>         <dispatcher>request</dispatcher>         <dispatcher>forward</dispatcher>     </filter-mapping> 

in have written following condition , placed in urlrewrite.xml

 <rule>     <condition type="remote-addr">^123\.123\.42\.36$</condition>     <from>/myapp/login*</from>     <set type="status">403</set>     <to>null</to>     </rule> 

i thought doing block ip accessing /myapp/login part of application doesn't work.

any suggestions how round appreciate want block individual ip ranges sections of application.

thanks ollie
