how to integrate UrlRewritingFilter with Struts 2.X

1) Is there a way to integrate UrlRewritingFilter with Struts2 tiles.i think there is a problem with listeners in web xml.

<listener>
    <listener-class>listener.ApplicationListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>

2) how to use struts2 advanced wildcard mapping to write better urls with actions.anybody can share a working example please?

thanks.!!

This is how you need to configure your rewrite filter

web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>logLevel</param-name>
        <param-value>WARN</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>
        org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter
    </filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

Please note the change done to S2 filter

Add a rewrite.xml file under WEB-INF with entry like

<urlrewrite>

    <rule>
    <from>^/some/olddir/(.*)$</from>
    <to type="redirect">/very/newdir/$1</to>
    </rule>

</urlrewrite>

For more details refer to there documents. There is one more option to create clean URL using NamedVariablePatternMatcher,for details refer to this blog for example and understanding
